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.
@ISIDEWITH6yrs

We don't want our country ruined by these maniacs. joe Biden is bought and paid for.
@98VKFH52 days
build the wall or we will become Mexicans!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, and we should adopt an open border policy
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, but make it a high-tech surveillance barrier instead of a physical one
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
Yes, and Mexico should pay for it
@ISIDEWITH6yrs
No, but increase our military presence along the southern border
@ISIDEWITH4yrs
No, keep the current wall but do not build more of it
@97358X4 3mos
NO we should make more walls. To keep mexicans out
No, abolish the welfare state
Yes, but not to keep people out, solely for aesthetic pleasure.
@95HMCM84mos
What do you mean by Aesthetic pleasure?
@957QQY75mos
No,but abolish the 1965 immigration system and establish a brand new immigration system that will benefit the American people.
And why should Mexicans pay?
@9438QSR6mos
No,but we should abolish the 1965 immigration system and establish a brand new immigration system that will benefit the American people.
@8N5XVFL 2yrs
Yes, there should be a high tech surveillance barrier but my reasoning is not because of immigration. A lot of sex trafficking happens along the border and it is a major issue that needs to be addressed.
@8NL5KB5 2yrs
This is very true some may say that wanting to build a wall or get better surveillance on the borders makes you racist, but that is not the case. Some people want better for the US. Wanting to keep out the drugs sex trafficking, guns and many other things. I'm saying that America doesn't have any of these things because we do. We smuggle things into Mexico and other countries and we don't get questioned because we are privileged, but those who are of colored or from other countries get questioned because they don't look as we do. Fair skin.
@8GHYHFC2yrs
Rule and regulations should be changed to allow a easier path to become a U.S. citizen.
@8C6BVB22yrs
Building a wall won’t solve the problem we have
@98WS7LZ43mins
Not all people who come here are bad some just want a better life. I think that for people who come here there should be background checks and evaluation should be done to see if they are a threat or no t.
@98WQYFR4hrs
Add wall but Open border
@98WPVCY6hrs
feel like there should be a easier way to get your green card or anything to get in side america.
No, increase spending to develop and reform our legal imagination process while spending money on more effective forms or security at the border like drones.
@98WM9549hrs
If it's necessary I guess
@98WLLW79hrs
I don't there should be a wall but better border control and more military presence.
@98WL94710hrs
To keep out anyone who tries to get here illegally. If their trying to get here illegally then the intentions they bring are not good.
@98WJW9DIndependent11hrs
Yes, but make it easier to get into the U.S. Make sure the people we want in get in, and the jerks who give immigrants a bad name stay out.
@98WG4TR13hrs
No, that's stupid and you should feel bad for even asking
@98WG2CW13hrs
Yes and military presence should be placed in case someone gets over.
@98WDKM814hrs
i don't have a preference but i would say just leave what they got and stop building
@98WCH4CIndependent18hrs
Yes, and improve how it currently is
@98W8W881 day
Yes, but involve more options and reduced cost for citizenship.
@98W84MMIndependent1 day
Yes but only where it is needed
@98W7LCH1 day
Yes, but we need to have a smoother process for getting into the country.
@98W7CKQ1 day
Yes, but make it security presence and surveillance prioritized over a physical barrier
yes, and make it a high-tech surveillance barrier as long as a physical one.
yes, but it should be easier to get through with personal belongings.
@98W3YDJ1 day
If we build a wall they will just go around it. Don't underestimate those who are desperate for a new life.
I am not educated enough for a stance.
@98W28P71 day
No and make it easier for immigrants to be legal
@98VZX7J1 day
NO, JUST, NO, give all Americans blow darts.
@98VZVSZ1 day
update the wall and create more jobs to speed up citizenship for fledging imigrants
@98VYQB61 day
no it would be too costly and ineffective and would it would also be best to increase a millitary presence in the southern border
