In 2015 U.S. Presidential candidate Donald Trump issued a proposal to build a wall along the Mexico-U.S. border. The wall would extend along the 1,900 mile border and would prevent illegal goods and people from entering the U.S. In 2013 the Government Accountability Office reported that the border patrol had intercepted 61% of individuals who had attempted to cross the border that year. Analysts say that building a wall along the entire border is impossible since it parts of it contain rocky, uneven terrain. Proponents argue that the wall will cut down on the flow of illegal immigrants and drugs into the U.S. Opponents argue that the wall is impossible to build and illegal immigration into the U.S. has declined significantly since the 2008 financial crisis.

No, this would be too costly and impractical due to the rocky, uneven terrain involved
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, and we should eradicate the cartels.
@8W57MHD2yrs2Y
It should be up to the states along the border
@92JXK3J2yrs2Y
Yes, but strengthen the border patrol and expect the wall to be only a last or first resort tactic and that it will not be a permanent solution.
@Ovrwatch222yrs2Y
Yes, a physical barrier is a deterrent, but focus on robust surveillance and interception of illegal border crossings.
@93HTZPV2yrs2Y
Yes, only in key areas.
@93HNT692yrs2Y
Yes, we need to restrict the ease the cartel has to come into our country.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, work with our southern neighbors to stop the flow of illegal migrants. Eradicate the cartels.
@8TMFV7P2yrs2Y
Yes, but we should also make it easier for people to legally immigrate
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
Yes, but I would prefer if we had military presence instead, however it would be a good idea if we took military presence and mixed it with a high-tech surveillance barrier just for extra protection and give the military high quality weapons to combat illegal immigrants.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, we should work with Mexico to stop the stream of migrants. Eradicate the cartels.
Deleted2yrs2Y
Yes, and eradicate the cartels.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, but increase our military presence along the southern border and eradicate the cartels.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, and it should barbed, electrified, have machine gun towers on the US side and mine fields on the Mexican side, and be financed from sanctions against illegal immigrants' countries of origin.
@932YGD72yrs2Y
@92WVF3D2yrs2Y
I say take better precautions to help prevent the entry of foreign people entering illegally
@92S34SB2yrs2Y
Yes, but I would prefer if we had military presence instead, however it would be a good idea if we took military presence and mixed it with a sturdy wall and mixed it with a high-tech surveillance barrier just for extra protection and give the military high quality weapons to combat illegal immigrants.
@92QRZLK2yrs2Y
No, but increase military presence along the southern border and allow the military to do backround checks on the foriegners that may come in and if they are criminals then they may be punished in America with a right to a fair trial
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, declare war on the cartels. Work with the Mexican government to stop the illegal influx of migrants.
@92L3VCS2yrs2Y
Let people have places to stay in big city's while they filefor citizenship
@92JGZDM2yrs2Y
Yes, but make it easier to get into the U.S. legally.
@92GWJXX2yrs2Y
No, work with Mexico to stop illegal migration. Allow asylum seekers only.
@92DRQZM2yrs2Y
Anything that will prevent illegal immigrants in not immigrants ILLEGAL Immigrants
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, work with Mexico to eradicate the cartels. We need to be protecting asylum seekers.
@9229SCK2yrs2Y
No. Many families are separated due to strong radical immigration policies. We need to abolish the wall.
@ThomasJ4762yrs2Y
Work with Mexico to help stop the illegal migration. Let in asylum seekers and refugees. Declare war on the cartels.
@8ZRWKGP2yrs2Y
Building a below ground rail line from San Diego to Yuma would prevent illegal tunneling. Placing a rail line above ground will prevent illegal activities across the border, as well as laying groundwork for developing the 200 miles along the border. This will solve the housing crisis as well.
@8ZHGS2J2yrs2Y
yes, border walls are normal for national security
@8YMWHBL2yrs2Y
Yes, but only enough that cant constantly be patrolled. (Nothing against Mexico beut if everyone was freely allowed here there would be over population, more restrictions, and prices would go up. But if you can come here legally, then come on over.)
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
Yes, only to keep the drug lords out.
@8ZGZ4DS2yrs2Y
maybe if situations get extreme but we must payf or it and vote on it
@3HS499C2yrs2Y
Yes and add more incentives for border patrol and military to detour the cartel, deport illegal immigrants and secure our Southern border from enemy invasions.
@ThomasJJ992yrs2Y
Yes, and also destroy the cartels.
@RickStewart2yrs2Y
Were we to sell permanent green cards for $50,000 each, and also end the Drug War, there would be no need to build a wall to prevent people from crossing our borders illegally. Tourists who want to enjoy the great beauty of the United States are highly unlikely to prefer sneaking in instead.
@8Z6BHLC2yrs2Y
Yes, but if immigrants need medical help let them in
@ThomasJj882yrs2Y
No, declare war on the cartels instead.
@Thomasjj682yrs2Y
No, work with Mexico to stop the influx. Eradicate the cartels.
Deleted2yrs2Y
No, we should work with Mexico and other Central American nations to combat the problems that allow for this type of migration. We must eradicate the cartels.
@8VC7WDN2yrs2Y
Yes. Put high-tech surveillance and strong military presence along our physical southern border wall and issue shoot-to-kill orders to deal with illegal border crossers who refuse to comply with orders to turn back.
