WATCH ABOVE: U.S. presidential candidate Scott Walker says building a wall along Canada-U.S. border a “legitimate issue.”
Build a wall along the Canada-U.S. border? Well, that’s a “pretty dumb idea,” Senator Rand Paul said during an interview with a Boston radio station on Monday.
Wisconsin Governor and Republican presidential candidate said Sunday that building a wall along the United States northern border has its merits.
“Some people have asked us about that in New Hampshire, they raise some 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,” Walker said when asked about whether the United States should build a fence along its Canadian border.
But Paul, a Republican senator for Kentucky, called it a “pretty dumb idea.”
He went on to explain during his interview with Boston Herald Radio that “there have been a lot of dumb ideas put out.”
(Paul, however, has endorsed an underground electric fence along the country’s southern border.)
Conservative candidate Jason Kenney said his party would be opposed to any “thickening” of the border when asked about Walker’s comments Sunday.
