(WASHINGTONPOST) — Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) says the United States needs to secure all its borders — and that includes reviewing security on the far-less-controversial northern border it shares with Canada, the longest border in the world at 5,525 miles.
Walker has long said that securing U.S. borders, especially the southern border with Mexico, is not only a deterrent to illegal immigration but also a way to ensure that terrorists and international criminals do not enter the country. During an interview on NBC News’s “Meet the Press” that aired Sunday morning, Walker pointed out that the United States spends millions of dollars on security at airports and ports and that it “only makes sense” to also pay that level of attention to the borders, including the one with Canada.
Moderator Chuck Todd asked Walker whether he would support building a wall along the long northern border.
