time to build a wall and make Canada pay for it.
It's only the longest border between any two countries in the 21st century. What could go wrong?
So much for french fríes and gravy sir
That would probably cripple both countries' economies, and given the current idiocracy in charge of the US I wouldn't give them any ideas like this...
It's more efficient to build a wall around India and have India pay for it. Trump will get right on that.

9000km
pros:
-
India is much more likely to foot a large portion of the bill than Canada given their relations with their land border neighbors.
-
labor is cheaper
cons:
-
regardless of whether we build only a land wall or both a land and water wall, this is less efficient. Especially when you want to build on the Himalayas.
-
building a wall, and thus, cementing highly disputed borders in the region could result in war between high population countries with nukes.
Get that science bullshit out of here, that's not how Trump does things.
You bust out mercator map of the world, then with your tongue slightly sticking out of you mouth you gauge that India looks a little smaller, then you detail your new policy by drawing a wall around India with marker or crayons.
there are uneaten crayons left in this scenario?
marker seems more likely.
On the one hand, probably the best time ever to get the fuck out of India if you're not Hindu, what with the Hindufascist Modi government and all.
On the other, one of the worst times ever to migrate to the US (whether illegally or legally) if you're not a cishet white Christian man, what with the incoming christofascist Trump government..
