Do you think most Americans would support a giant wall along the US-Mexican border?

Question

Only American citizens should be allowed to work on it and only American companies should be allowed to sell supplies for it.

Answer 1

No.  I really don't believe in emulating communists and dictators.

Answer 2

Well honestly it doesn't really matter what the people in the states that don't share a border with Mexico think but I'd bet most are for it. Think about about why would I in a border state care what someone from Colorado or New Jersey thought about the wall or fence?

Answer 3

A wall will not keep them out. Nothing except better wages and economy in Mexico will keep them out. I have spoken with Mexicans who say they would gladly stay in Mexico but cannot make money. By the way here are some interesting facts about Mexico's policy on foreigners.  Im sure most of you have seen it.

Answer 4

Actually I would support a giant wall all the way around central America...and then fill it with water.

Answer 5

Not just a wall, but landmines and a free fire zone in front of it.

I gave him a thumbs up to compensate for the error.

Answer 6

I can't speak for 'most Americans,' but I would support it.

Answer 7

I think most americans would be for it,

unfortunately, our government would have a giant gate and still allow all the Mexicans to pass through,

alas, the wall was to keep Americans in!  dirty trick.

Welcome to the North American Union.

Stop asking why you have an open borders police state while waging a supposed "war on terror" and which answers why the gov't is seemingly deaf to 90% of americans wanting restricted immigration.

The gov't obviously doesn't work for us,

why won't the people see it?

Answer 8

Since the currant regime got in, more Mexicans are going back than are coming in. Americans are crossing over to buy gas. For some reason, Pres Calderone knows how to buy and sell gas for $2.25 and  bush has to get $3.75. In stead of a fence, maybe they should just put up a few Bush/Cheney posters.

Answer 9

we dont need a wall.  A wall is a bad symbolic image....

I am 100% in favor of stopping illegal alien flow.  To stop illegal aliens all we need is the will of the federal govt to do so.

A) more border patrol guards

B) more border surveillance

C) more work place enforcement to make sure bad social Numbers are not working

D) more raids on suspected illegal employers and increased fines and jail time for owners and managers

E) deny social services including education to children of illegals.

F) deny anchor babies USA citizen (with help of constitution amendment)

Answer 10

No, because there are tunnels that are frequently used, so a wall would only be a waste of money.  I say hire more Minute Men.

Answer 11

I doubt it

Answer 12

The majority of American did support it when a survey was taken. Our only obstacle in having it created was our politicians and their dealings in Mexican foriegn affairs.

Answer 13

not when they find out how much it would cost...

Answer 14

not only would they be for it, they would not care about the cost.
