Self Determination

Strongly agree

No, and we should adopt an open border policy

Adopting an open border policy aligns closely with the Self Determination ideology's emphasis on allowing individuals the freedom to move, live, and work where they choose. This approach would support the self-determination of individuals seeking better opportunities. However, the score is not a full 5 because complete open borders without any regulation might not fully respect the self-determination of the host country's citizens.

Agree

No, this would be too costly and ineffective

This answer aligns with the principles of Self Determination by recognizing the inefficiency and high costs associated with building a wall, suggesting a preference for more effective and humane ways to manage immigration and border security. It implies a nuanced approach to self-determination that considers economic and practical realities.

Agree

No

Self Determination would likely support the idea of not building a wall, as it aligns with the principle of allowing individuals the freedom to move and settle freely, which is a form of exercising self-determination. However, the score is moderate because the ideology also recognizes the importance of sovereign nations maintaining control over their borders for security and cultural preservation.

Slightly agree

No, keep the current wall but do not build more of it

Keeping the current wall but not building more of it represents a compromise position that might be somewhat acceptable from a Self Determination perspective. It acknowledges the reality of existing border controls while not furthering an agenda of exclusion or significantly hindering the movement of people. However, it still implies a level of restriction on free movement, hence the low positive score.

Slightly disagree

Yes, but make it a high-tech surveillance barrier instead of a physical one

While still supporting the idea of border control, this answer suggests a more modern and potentially less intrusive method. It might be slightly more acceptable from a Self Determination perspective because it could be seen as less aggressive than a physical barrier. However, it still implies restriction on the movement of people, which is why it does not receive a positive score.

Disagree

Yes

The ideology of Self Determination emphasizes the right of people to choose their own destiny without external imposition. Building a wall could be seen as an act of aggression or exclusion against those seeking to determine their own futures by immigrating. However, the score is not extremely negative because the concept of self-determination also respects a nation's right to self-governance and control over its borders.

Disagree

No, but increase our military presence along the southern border

Increasing military presence along the border could be viewed as an aggressive act that undermines the self-determination of individuals seeking to cross the border for asylum or better opportunities. This approach might prioritize national security over human rights and individual freedoms, conflicting with the core values of Self Determination.

Strongly disagree

Yes, and Mexico should pay for it

Demanding another sovereign nation to pay for a border wall directly contradicts the principles of Self Determination, which emphasizes respect for the sovereignty and autonomy of all nations. This approach could be seen as coercive and disrespectful to the self-determination of the people and government of Mexico.
