Answer 3

it might be cheaper just to hire more border patrol officers and give them a pay raise.  

Answer 4

The Berlin Wall split a country in two.  You can't compare a wall between two countries with a wall running through one country.

That said, I don't think a fence will be very effective.  If illegal immigrants obeyed the law, they wouldn't be here in the first place.  I fully support enforcing current immigration laws and deporting illegal immigrants.

Answer 5

Why would it be offensive. This is OUR country not theres. Why should we make them happy when they arent even a citizen.? We shoudlent change out ways for them. As far as a wall solving the problem, it might if it was high enough. For one i am tired of pushing one for english, what a crock of ****. And the berlin wall separtated east and west germany same country just different standards of living and laws. This is a h**l of alot different then mexico and usa. As far as ILLEGAL immigration gos, **** OFF WERE FULL!

Answer 6

i think even with the wall they will find a way to get here.  They are a smart people.  Its sad that such a wall is even needed.  So many people world wide hate America because of what G W Bush has done as President

Answer 7

Going from the bottom up.

The Berlin Wall was created to keep people IN and separated.  A wall between Mexico and the United States is to keep people OUT.  People can still get through, legally, but it does prevent people from getting in.  Besides, they say that a good fence makes happy neighbors.  

No, it's not.  Is having a fence in your own yard offensive against human dignity?  No, it's not.  I have a fence to keep people out, it's my property and I don't want strange people in it.  Same concept here, except on a larger scale.  

Air requires legal documents, especially when traveling to other countries.  Besides, even if they did come here, it'd be tough to find a life here illegally if we toughened up on immigration laws.  Sea is laughable, that's practically impossible for various reasons.  And underground anything would take a long, long time and it has a high chance of being discovered under proper security.

Of course, not, it just helps.  What would solve it is if we had something like North and South Korea.  Two fences spaced a few yards apart.  In between those two fences is a kill-man zone, whoever dares to trespass illegally is shot or blown up by a mine.  Harsh, but it's their choice.  They can come here legally if they wanted.  

And what's so hard about gathering a few illegals and shipping them back?  They're not hiding in alley ways or hiding from the government, they have jobs, go to school, and everything.  It's not hard to catch them.  If you toughen up laws, they'll just go back themselves, it's been seen quite a few times.

Answer 8

Well, it may not BUT YOU HAVE TO STRAT SOMEWHERE!  America is tired of the illegals replacing our jobs.  Don't let them tell you that they are not getting any money.  If Americans had the job then construction companies would pay.  Americans raised children with construction jobs.  Now.  There are very few jobs for them.

It is offensive for them to come and get our jobs, they are undercutting us.  Don't give me the spill about they don't get paid anything.  Blacks were slaves and many are STILL NOT PAID what they should be and they MADE THIS COUNTRY GREAT.

Mexicans come over and literally look down on Black ppl.  Get for real.  They have a country, this is ours.  Build up their country and stop blackmarketing our dollar.

Answer 9

The Berlin Wall kept people in Germany.  The fence along the border keeps people out of our country.  And where such a fence has been used, they are very successful.  

They are, by the way, very successful at keeping drop-by-from-Mexico violent crime down in urban areas.  

And does it assault human dignity?  Not even a  little bit.  A huge amount of criminal activity was going on along the border with the ugliest being the narcotics smuggling.  There is still a huge amount of ugly crime being done along the border and where that fence goes up, the rats tend to leave.  The decent cops in Mexico make a point to say thank you as well as the decent cops in the United States.

By the way... do you have a prison near your home?  Do you have a fence around your house?  Do the manufacturing and distribution centers have fences around them?  

Answer 10

No, I don't support building a wall with a country that we have peaceful relations and economic ties.

I support revamping the broken US immigration system.

Punishing employers for breaking the law, not people.

Allowing companies to quickly recruit skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled laborers for one year periods at a time to fill jobs that Americans are too stupid or lazy to do.  

Improving the economic situation in Mexico.

Clamping down on gun sales that go to criminals in Mexico.

Admitting the US is the one responsible for the drug problems in Mexico and giving compensation to Mexico for the damages from the US. About 5 billion dollars would begin to redress this grave injustice.

Apologize to Mexico for stealing it's land in the unjust, unfair and illegal war of invasion and conquest from 1846-48.

Make English/Spanish the official languages of the US. Make French an unofficial, but recognized language as well.

Make bi-lingual, English/Spanish language instruction a part of all public school programs from elementary through high school.

Answer 11

It IS offensive and if people want something bad enough they will even jump over the wall or go under the wall to get to their destination so it is very nonsensical and very much like the n**i method of separating nations.  Unless the U.S citizens want to be known as n***s they should find a different method because the world will look at them in a very disdainful way.

Answer 12

Do you think that the wall really would solve the problem of illegal immigration? No but it would slow it down as well as cut down on drug smugglers and other criminals who enter America in relaxed areas. A big truck or car cannot go through a wall

.Don't you think that the "aliens" would find another way to reach the american dream? Like arriving bye sea, air or underground?

Don't you think the most advance country on earth can stop it, if the Gov really wanted to, troops and planes,tanks,air craft carriers,could put a stop to that

Don't you think building a wall between two countries is offensive against human dignity? Then why does this statement apply only to America. How can it be offensive when currently in Mexico they are about in a civil war -drug cartel-Mex Gov-drug cartel winning. It if is very offensive, then maybe they will all turn around and go back home.We cannot babysit every Mexican whose feelings are hurt because he had to encounter a wall or a drug smuggler,human smugglers encountered a wall. yes we can control that border- the same way they took over Iraq in a matter of days,the Mexico border would not pose a real conflict and in a few days no one would try coming over with Military planes flying over. What you suggest is - you feel defeated and are really to give up your country without even standing up and fighting for it.You kinda sell out

Answer 13

h**l yeah! Keep those commi bast**ds out of our country with their tacos and burritos and donkeys. Too dirty if you ask me!

Answer 14

In the order you asked.

Yes I support the wall.

It can't make the problem any worse, and it might help.

If they are illegal aliens, then perhaps they will find an alternative way, but some will give up and not come at all. Good.

No I dont

THe Berlin Wall was BROUGHT down becuase it wasnt needed anymore.

We need a wall at our southern border.

Build the dang thing already.

Answer 15

I don't support it. It is definitely a step backward. Trust me a wall can will not keep anyone out! If the desperation is there, then there will always be a way to get in. I doubt anything can really keep people out if it is a matter of life or death.

Answer 16

the wall of china hasn't fallen...

Answer 17

it helps keep the mexicans out of our country and keep them in their own country so they can make it better

Answer 18

i think the wall is ridicuolus!! in europe there are noooooooo borders...you can go spend the day in france and then go back to switzerland or wherever

the us is the country that treats immigrants the worst...spain( a eveloped country) has open borders with morrocco(a much less developed country than mexico) and helps the immigrants

but thats just my opinion

Answer 19

I support the idea of being a separate nation and having independence, but I do agree that the actual wall is offensive and it really doesn't work because immigrate are coming in by sea and air. Immigration should be controlled but not as harshly as it is now, we do need to protect the American Dream as you say so we need to watch the people coming in and the ones already here.

Answer 20

A wall is but one component of the system.  The other would be strict enforcement of existing immigration laws.  We do NOT need any such nonsense of "comprehensive immigration reform", which translated means amnesty for illegals.

The wall should include minefields, machine gun towers, and artillery emplacements.  In addition, the US should invade Mexico and seize the entire area to 50 miles south of the bnorder, and turn it into a militarized zone through which no one may pass.

Answer 21

The Berlin wall worked while it was up.  Armed guards, towers, dogs,  Yeah sounds like a good idea.  We have to do something to keep them out.  But the border guards must be as the Germans were, and shoot to kill. Not just be there to "scare".    

Answer 22

I support a series of barriers and manned checkpoints, of which a wall would only be one component.

The Berlin Wall fell because it divided the German people.  No such wall divides the American people.

Answer 23

Illegal immigration is a problem. Human dignity cant be applied to be who abuse laws and abuse social systems. Its easier for an illegal immigrant to get on foodstamps and such than actual poor people

Answer 24

actually I think armed soldiers and pit bulls trained to attack the first thing that moves would do a better job and be much cheaper. If they are still willing to get attacked by pit bulls, dodge gun fire to try to get here, let them. Of course, that would be inhumane. that's why the US just spent tons of money putting water faucets in the Arizona desert so illegals would have water to drink on their way to US.. some 300 of them died in the heat and somehow that became US fault. Here's an even better way. Stop the free s**+*.. no more free public schools, no more food stamps, no more free health care UNLESS they are dying & I do mean DYING. stop letting them go to college and getting financial aid. start heavily fining landlords who rent to them and employers who hire them and fine people who harbor them.. if I harbor a rapist I can go to jail for that but nothing happens to those who harbor them it's not right.  Start making their life HEL L and they will be running back home

Answer 25

The wall would only cause more problems because more people would die or get hurt trying to cross and, it will only cause more friction between  two countries with an already stressed relationship!

Answer 26

The problem will not be solved with the wall. Desperate people take risks of all kinds including death in order to have a better life. We have to recognize some of our states were once territory of Mexico. Due to Manifest Destiny we fought for the land and won. In result, there is a large number of Mexicans in the U.S. who belong to a three or more generation in the U.S. we can not be ignorant of the culture who was once part of the U.S.

The "aliens" of all countries find ways to get what they want.  Cubans through sea, Mexicans and Central Americans through the border, Colombians through air, or marriages with American Citizens. People find a way to come to the U.S. especially if they come from a struggling country.

The wall is not offensive and there is much more that can be done to prevent drugs and criminals from entering. Hopefully, our government will find a way to keep the hard-working and good people who are willing to do low-wage jobs and the rapist, terrorists, drug-smugglers, and dangerous criminals out.  

Answer 27

If the wall don't work Army snipers will. Shoot a few mexicans and the rest will learn.

Human dignity. I have an idea you house feed educate and give them medical and money out of your pocket. Enough with us giving OUR money away. We feed the world and help with OUR military.

ENOUGH ALREADY.

Answer 28

I think it's gonna affect both countries in a negative way, and I think this are times when nations should be coming together not drifting apart.

Answer 29

Yes, I do!!  It is but one tool for the use of controlling the border security for many reasons that have been displayed here a multitude of times.  It is not the sole answer, just one part of the puzzle for stopping the illegal alien invasion.  Approx. 40% of illegals arrived via visa and have over stayed.

Answer 30

The Berlin Wall has nothing to do with the border fence. There are no parallels here. It has reduced not only immigration where it was tried but also crime. Unless you want the Mexican drug dealers taking over the United States.
