Memo to all those who thought leaving the European Union and its easy travel and trade setup was a good idea for the United Kingdom:
-- Major British banks are considering relocating their headquarters to the Republic of Ireland, which will stay in the EU.
-- Thousands of people now living in Britain are applying for Irish passports, which will make it easier for them to travel throughout Europe and its member nations of the EU.
-- Canada's trade relations with its Commonwealth parent nation, the United Kingdom, are shriveling.
And you think the U.S. should tear up existing trade agreements such as NAFTA, cancel plans for a Trans Pacific Partnership trade agreement, and sharply restrict travel to America from other countries as well as build a wall along America's southern border are also great ideas?
Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.
Meanwhile, what if Canada built a wall along its southern border and hired Mexicans and Muslims to do the work?
