   In that case, I'll assume that Trump refers to what the ratio will look like   
   after we start drilling our own oil (which is one of his plans.)

   This sounds to me like the USA & Canada need to work together to combat the   
   issue then. I don't want drugs coming in from Canada, and I don't want drugs   
   going out to Canada either. The same goes for illegal immigrants and/or other   
   criminals.   
      
   It's my understanding that Canada's liberal party is loyal to China, and part   
   of being loyal to China means to not interfere with China's opium/precursor   
   sales to American junkies.   
      
   "Everything we discussed has been leaked to the papers. That is not

   The rivers should make it somewhat easier. The St. Lawrence River is   
   significantly deeper and wider compared to the Rio Grande. Onlya very athletic   
   person would be able to swim all the way across the St. Lawrence.   
      
   The land borders might be more difficult to enforce, but whatever it takes, we   
   should do it. If we've got 3 trillion dollars for DEI, then we should have   
   another 3 trillion for border enforcement.   
      
    RM> Trust me.. the person that will hurt the USA more than anyone   
    RM> else is your president. Tariffs are nothing but a tax on you,   
    RM> as well as us, and he is damaging both of our economies.   
      
   I just don't see the damage yet. I see all the alarms and warnings, but just   
   no damage. Kinda like global warming: it don't feel very hot yet.
