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.
Yes, but not to keep people out, solely for aesthetic pleasure.

Yes, but only up to a certain point, we should not attempt to build it into the rocky, uneven terrain.
Increase presence at borders but also talk with the folks on the other side to get to know the people better. Should make the immigration process smoother, on paper at least.
Build a wall and politically and financially encourage Mexico to stop immigrants at their border.

Yes but we must make it easier to become a citizen

Continue to build the wall with checkpoints every few miles, and have Mexico help pay for the wall.
NO. We should have an open border to people seeking asylum. We should conduct the same searches that Canada does from travel in and out of the US and Canada. The Southern Border shouldn't be any different.
I do not want nor have a say.
Yes, if you want to live in america then enter legally otherwise you should be deported.
Yes, But only for the people who are abusing the rules in the U.S
no, they’re still going to climb the wall. we should not be wasting tay payer money on something we know won’t work. It’s MexiCAN not MexiCAN’T.
We should completely change how our country’s immigration works to allow for more people to be able to come.
yes but private citizens should not be able to have guns and hold them to new comers. The government should be friendlier and not passive toward illegal immigrants.
yes, and all immigrants who wants in can apply to become citizens
At least have a system to where people can find drugs on drug dealers.
Yes, it is a protective stance for the United States.
Yes, and add security.
yes and no because we should help out the others around the world and not let them suffer
Yes because we need to protect our borders from traffickers.
Yes, but it should be a combination of a physical barrier and high-tech measures. Until then , close the border.
Yes and no it will keep people from coming over that haven't been a citizen of the united states and keep the drugs and bad stuff out
Yes, and put a huge door in it.
I think we should protect our borders from drugs and criminals but people who want a better life should be able to cross.
Yes, but form an Ellis Island like system where immigrants are screened before entering the country. And increase military presence
No, and remove the current wall and leave it open and if you do build a wall Trump will pay for it and for everyone's taxes
There has been a study that shows now that even a part of the wall has been built more illegal immigrants are coming in from our hat known as Canada.
No, but increase our military presence along the southern border, but while keeping an open border policy.
No because what if an illegal immigrant was seeking over there because he wanted to be his family but if it a person is tryna harm people just put officers there
It wouldn't do much. It isn't necessary. But in some cases it could be. so no and yes
yes they should people across the boarder come here and get free health care and dont pay taxes at all. they are stealing money from us with being illegal in the u.s.
No, honestly I don't think it would work, however the borders do need to be secured somehow
Increase border protection and alter the process to make it easier for people to become citizens.
There should be border in place that strictly regulates people coming in. If people have committed crimes or are apart of gangs, they should not be allowed. If they are clearly people who need help and safety, they should be provided in a comforting place to stay and given guidance towards getting their citizenship. The border should background check people coming in. The people running the border also need the proper training.
No, a wall is not necessary. It’s literally one of the dumbest things this country has spent money on that serves no purpose. It’s put the Country in more debt than we already have.
yes, but it should still be made possible for people to immigrate under certain circumstances
This would show racism against Hispanic people and there should be no wall in the southern part of the US. This can be discrimination. Some people want to move into the US for a better life.
No, but if we do increase our military presence on the southern border there would be less illegal immigration
Only if it really decreases illegal immigration.
No, I believe that immigration should be up to the people who are coming here, not the government.
no just increase border control people
No, but keep a higher servalence on the border for potential enimies.
I honestly just don´t care
