Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) WARNS us of the GRAVEST danger facing the U.S.: Mexican Marijuana Nukes.

An Arizona Republican congressman has defended the notion of building a border wall by claiming it could prevent a nuclear weapon being smuggled into the United States concealed in a bale of marijuana.

Rep. Trent Franks (R-AZ) made the comments Wednesday in a discussion with CNN's Brianna Keilar about President Trump's proposed $21 billion border barrier.

"The reality, Brianna, is that we have to measure all of the costs, ancillary and otherwise, and make the best decision that we can. But I can suggest to you that there are national security implications here for a porous border. We sometimes used to make the point that if someone wanted to smuggle in a dangerous weapon, even a nuclear weapon, into America, how would they do it? And the suggestion was made, ‘Well, we'll simply hide it in a bale of marijuana,’" Franks said.

"So the implications of a porous border have national security dimensions that are very significant and that bear a lot of conversation when we talk about costs," he said.

Border agents would see those bails of cannabis and just let them through.

4. "Hey guys, we need to sneak this nuke across the border"

"How can we hide it in a way that will keep from arousing suspicion if border patrol catches us?"

"Hmm, well I suppose we could pack it in a crate surrounded by illegal narcotics."

"Good plan. Let's do that."

9. Yes.

Bales work way better than, say, a nondescript box.
