..."[T]he House of Representatives in December, sponsored [a bill] by Republican James Sensenbrenner. Provisions of the bill include building an 11,000-kilometre wall between the US and Mexico..."

"I'm sorry. Did you say a WALL??? They passed a bill to build a wall???"

"Oh yeah. It'll be nice, too. I hear it's gonna be made of iron."

"Shiny. Excuse me. I have to bang my head against some bricks now."

I don't want to hear anymore snarky comments about China's Great Wall. By this measure, China was 700 years ahead of its time.
