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.

No, it would not be necessary if subsidies and programs weren't available to illegal immigrants.
@B4JHV2PRepublican4 days
Yes, but also allow immigrants if they have a legal job lined up ahead of time.

No, but there should be better and correctly trained security at the border
They already have one for a lot of the border
Yes, and we pay for it, load it up with surveillance too. Stop letting people in our country until we can get a grip on homelessness and our national debt. We should be taking care of Americans first and foremost. We'll never be able to fix world population increases of 80 million/year and we have to accept this. America is a great place as long as we don't dilute our financial resources from the poor and middle classes.
No, this would be too costly and ineffective. We should work on better open border policies instead.
Safety and protection of our country and resources is vital, but we should find a balanced and better system to help those in need
Yes. Only in certain areas and have other methods elsewhere
I don't have a strong stance on the wall
I’m between the fence. No pun intended.
There has to be somethi g more done that makes people see that coming to our country legally is better than coming illegally.
Yes. But only to the points and locations that Boarder Patrol officials determine it is helpful.
No, but make the process to become citizens easier
Increase surveillance as well as make it a serious offence carrying 10 years imprisonment term for those illegal migrants caught crossing border.
Yes, and make better patrol training mandatory.
Yes, but more so as a tool for tourism to generate income and provide jobs. For instance China's Great Wall in 2004 generated $67.7 billion in tourism. If America builds a wall to the same degree people will show up to see it. It's the same concept as the Grand Canyon or Area-51. People are dumb. Build it - they will come.
No, all Northern and Southern should always be united
I don't have enough information to form an opinion.
No, a wall solves nothing. Reform border and immigration laws
yes but physical and high tech
no, but we should have a way to make sure people cross over legally without making them feel like we don't want them here
Yes and along our northern boarder also
Yes and include high surveillance.
Yes, and there should be more military surveillance
Yes, there are unfinished parts of a border wall and we must protect our citizens from criminals and drung traffickers. A border wall will help the U.S border patrol and every immigrant should come legally and go through the process.
I don't personally care, but as it's clear that a majority of citizens want it, by all means we should.
No, its inefficient and causes more problems than solutions
either way our race gets killed by you guys anyways
No, that’s wasting money on unnecessary things.
No, but we should create more effective ways to vet individuals coming across the border. This would likely require more trained workers and more immigration offices.
Yes, some sort of cost effective barrier
Absolutely not for one it will take far far too long, it will cost billions of dollars, and the terrain is far too dangerous to work in.
If we see that it has benefited us then, yes. If there is nothing coming from it then, no.
I just feel like they need to come into the state legally
Yes, but if we are in a position of economic crisis, then increase the military personal at the wall to lower costs instead.
I think they should just fix the ones that need it and a bit amount of money where there's more population that people cross like if there's a place where illegals like to use in specific upgrade the fence or wall. I don't agree with trumps wall because its a lot of money and that would most likely put us more in debt also because Mexico will not pay for it.
Yes, but don't think I'm racist because I want the wall its for mine and Californias protection from ILLEGAL immigrants, not immigrants, but the ILLEGAL ones.
No, we should abolish borders and and governments
I think yes as long as they let innocent people in the U.S for free and with their family.
I think America should be protected.
Doesn't have to be a wall, but we should be able to protect the border while still monitoring the border. It is not fair to those who are going through the proper channels to become citizens
No, but we should increase border security and make harsher policies against illegal immigration
No, but increase National Guard presence at the border, and make legal immigration far less bureaucratic and more streamlined.
I think they should but still let people come in the U.S but they have to check there history
No, but increase consequences for crossing illegally. Increase cooperation with Mexico to ensure illegal immigrants face jail time in Mexico upon deportation.
It would be costly and ineffective but I do think we should set up some kind of protection.
yes to keep the bad out but then it is also hard for people to go see Thar family
No, and we should fix our immigration policies to make it easier for people to immigrate legally because the process is too long, hard, and costly
