Herman Cain Proposes Electrified Border Fence As Immigration Reform, Says He Was Joking

GOP presidential hopeful Herman Cain came down hard on immigration Saturday on the campaign trail, telling crowds in Tennessee that part of his policy would be to build an electrified fence on the Mexican border that could potentially kill anyone trying to enter the country illegally. He backed away from that proposal Sunday morning, however, saying he wasn’t serious about the idea. “That’s a joke, David,” he told NBC’s David Gregory on “Meet The Press.” “That’s not a serious plan.”
