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.
Rule and regulations should be changed to allow a easier path to become a U.S. citizen.

yes, and mexico should pay for it and we should kill any illegal crossing
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
I am not against the idea of a wall but I believe a wall will slow down a the amount of illegal immigrants crossing our border but I do not believe it will completely stop them from coming over. I believe Mexico should not pay for the wall because Mexico has their own problems going on their country they have to attended to that are far worse then our own problems
Yes there should be border but also increase the amount of help we provide for those seeking refuge.
Create a system that allows migrant workers to come and go, but these workers should not get US Citizen benefits
There should be more border control but a wall would be to costly.
No, but fix emigration system, make equal for all people.
no because people have a right to live here after three years and a wall is not needed to keep people out
Yes. I think there should be a wall, lots of immigrants drugs, and other bad stuff is being dragged across the borders. And I think Mexico should help/ pay for about half of it since they cannot keep there own chaos in their borders so we are sharing it. It's a disease, and I know people feel empathy for the immigrants but they steal jobs from american people.
Yes. In addition, increase the number of border patrol agents, or supplement their numbers with the American military, specifically, the military police. Additional support personnel should come from the infantry divisions within the Army and Marines who would be supported by existing military supply, maintanence, and command chains. It would then be necessary to delineate the military's role such that it does not conflict with, or violate the 2005 revision of The Insurrection Act.
Yes, there is already one and we would just be upgrading it
Yes the US should build a barrier/wall to the southern border so not every Mexican can cross over to the United States.
Yes to a wall and increase troop defense numbers. No this doesnt solve illegal immigration.
No, but end the welfare state for illegal immigrants
if yoyu want th ewall so b ad you can build it with lego bloclkls.
Yes, but we also need to make immigration easier.
No, increase use of and improve identification systems for employment, school and Travel
It depends how they use (blocking) southern border. It depends for good or for bad uses.
No, build up Mexico so people don’t want to leave.
Yes, and line the US side with solar panels to create reusable energy
I agree with the thought of building a wall on our border, but not the demonizing of Mexican immigrants.
There should be a boarder/wall that determines where one country ends/begins, but we should focus more on the problems that are being faced with people living in the border (drug cartel, sex trafficking of minors, etc) then spend too much money on a wall as a form of "symbolism".

A barrier should be built along with military presence
Yes, there should be some form of barrier but withdraw troops from Middle East and put them on the border instead. And make the legal immigration process easier by providing work visas to cut down illegal immigration.
no, and legalization should be easier
No, we need to reform immigration policies
Depends on the reasons
Yes, because immigrants should not be allowed to enter the country on their own
Increase border patrol AND improve legal entry/immigration process.
No, but have additional border security so people come in legally
To be honest, sure a wall can block people specifically the drug dealers but other than that I think the wall is useless and is just a waste of money. People will end up climbing over it anyway. And just the immigration system itself is messed up with how long it gets to a visa or finalizing paper work just to become a citizen, and this goes for pretty much every country. I think an open border system should be adopted and regulation of people coming in and out of the country should be regulated.
Yes, Physical with high-tech surbeillance as well
Provide border patrol with better equipment and more man power thus enabling job development and economic growth while still providing a safe stance on legalizaion.
depends on if more and more Mexicans keep coming into the United States.
No, but still have restrictions and who can come in and out of the country.
Yes, but increase our law enforcement along the southern border.
Other countries have no issues maintaining their borders, why should we
No because the united states is nothing but foreigners and therefore if they arent allowing people in they shouldn't allow people out how unfair of those in right but look at those who are out the united states is an organization making trillions and is unacceptable
I don't think that we should focus on building a new wall I think that we should focus on improving our system for the application of green cards and visas to further help people that want to get into the country.
People should just do paperwork
Allow people who need to come to the U.S. but do not allow others who do not need to cross the border. If the people who were allowed and needed to come to the U.S. without legal paperwork, then once their needs (such as medical help) are met, they go back the way they came.
No, but the legal process to migrating should be improved.
No, but do many background checks to people trying to come to the U. S
we should probably invest in making Mexico a better place so we don't have illegal immigrants
