Agree

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

Goldwater was a proponent of technological advancement, especially in the context of national security. He might have been more likely to support a high-tech surveillance barrier than a physical wall.

Agree

Yes

Slightly agree

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

Given that there was no significant border wall during Goldwater's time, this question is somewhat anachronistic. However, given his conservative stance and focus on national security, he might support maintaining existing security measures without necessarily expanding them.

Neutral

No, this would be too costly and ineffective

Goldwater was fiscally conservative and might have concerns about the cost of a wall, but he also believed in strong national security. These two aspects of his political philosophy could potentially cancel each other out in this context.

Slightly disagree

Yes, and Mexico should pay for it
