Jerry Brown jokes that his state will build a wall if Trump is elected

California Gov. Jerry Brown has a plan if Donald Trump is elected president: build a wall to protect the state from the current GOP front runner.

“If Trump were ever elected, we’d have to build a wall around California to defend ourselves from the rest of this country,” Brown said at a dinner for labor organizers, according to the Sacramento Bee. “By the way that is a joke. We don’t like walls, we like bridges.”

The joke is a reference to Trump’s stated plan of building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border and forcing the Mexican government to pay for it. Brown has been a big advocate for overhauling the U.S. immigration system and has granted additional rights to undocumented immigrants in his own state.

3. That's my Governor

I'm so proud of my Governor and my representatives!

And Trump would probably want to build the wall to keep all those Mexicans in California out too. Fuck him.
