WASHINGTON - On Meet the Press Sunday, Chuck Todd wanted to know what Scott Walker thinks about the possibility of building a fence to keep people from coming into the country that way. “Why are we always talking about the southern border and building a fence there?” he asked. “We don’t talk about a northern border.”

“Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire,” Walker replied. “They raised some very legitimate concerns, including some law enforcement folks that brought that up to me at one of our town hall meetings about a week and a half ago. So that is a legitimate issue for us to look at.

”To combat terrorism on U.S. soil, Walker said, “It starts with securing the homeland. It wasn’t just about building a wall and securing our borders. It was also about making sure our intelligence community has the ability for counterterrorism and the ability to go after the infrastructure they need to protect us.”

The People For the American Way’s Regional Political Coordinator Scott Foval said about Scott Walker’s statement that building a wall between the U.S. and Canada is a “legitimate” idea:

“This sounds like a brilliant strategy, not for solving our nation’s immigration challenges, but for showing that there’s no idea too ridiculous for a candidate trying to build his anti-immigrant credentials. Our country doesn’t need more Trump-style demagoguery from GOP presidential candidates. We need comprehensive immigration reform that helps actual families.”
