Walker says wall on Canadian border worth reviewing

58. My son just suggested that a republican should propose banning all travel into and from the US.

And ban all imports and exports as well. Their base seems to view foreigners (either as potential immigrants or current poor workers) as bad. This way we will be isolated from the ill-effects of their presence in the world.

That would prevent all immigration - a plus in the eyes of their base. It would keep international tourists from visiting the US but Americans would have no choice but to vacation here so tourism may not suffer much. And we wouldn't have to worry about trade deficits anymore.

I think a GOP candidate could go a long way with these kinds of policies. Their base doesn't like immigrants (and OTHERS in general), doesn't travel to other countries much anyway and doesn't like trade either.

Fortunately, my son was joking (I hope).
