" but if you seal the Mexican border, then wouldn't the Canadian border become a problem?
Or is the issue not about national security, but about MEXICANS? "
We dont have 8 million Canadians crossing that border looking for work and handouts in this country. If we did, yes we'd have to build up there.
"How much will this fence cost?"
I would guess about $200 million, or about 1/5th the annual cost of the extra medicare spending at border hospitals due to border-crossers come to emergency rooms. I suspect that given the $70 billion / year cost in welfare to immigrants, this fence would save tens of billions in net govt expenditures over time.

Will your congressman draft legislation that calls for building a fence, and how many others can he get to support it?
