If we close the border with Canada, it will be CLOSED. Nobody in,
nobody
out.
It's much cheaper for us to force you to fix it than to do it
ourselves.

But Scott, that's a huge IF. I think someone (perhaps Michael) has
already pointed out that the trade between our two countries is HUGE.
And trade, as I'm sure you know, is a two-way street.

If this 2-way trade were not extremely advantageous to the USA (and, of
course, to Canada as well), you wouldn't be engaging in it. Now in
terms of dollars required to fix whatever problem you perceive there to
be with our mutual border: do you really believe that cutting off trade
with Canada will be cheaper than the USA fixing whatever this problem
is?

I suggest that if that's your position, then you cannot even begin to
fathom how valuable this trade is to your country. Fixing a border
problem would cost a mere pittance in relation to the trade we're
talking about.
