What do you think about the immigration wall going up on the Mexican/US Border?

Answer 1

Answer 4

get those beaner wetbacks back to their side

Answer 5

if they don't like america they can go back to europe

Answer 6

it's a ploy to get xenophobic rednecks to vote republican.  Ain't gonna work.  Nothing like 700 miles of fence for a 2000 mile border

Answer 7

I think that is is not a replacement for immigration reform that results in a clear and direct path to citizenship.  There is nothing wrong with immigration, we are a nation of immigrants.  The difference is when people don't do things the right way, and undermine the system that is in place, it makes it a lot harder for everyone.  Instead of fences we should go into Mexico and actually set up offices in every border town, let people know that they can work on there American citizenship the right way.  Make it easy.  Also make a deal with the Mexican government that all peoples found to be in violation of the laws agreed upon by both countries face Mandatory time in jail.....in Mexico.    

Answer 8

Destroy it.

Answer 9

there's an immigration wall going up when? i don't know i guess that's a little no its actually very extreme I'm not really for illegal immigration but that's just a gross over reaction to a problem that could be solved with a little understanding and work. and please don't let there be some red-neck yell in' about how they need to speak english or ill start shouting Cherokee up in this b****!

Answer 10

scandel---jobs for the boys

Answer 11

Build it high, build it long, and build it soon.

too bad we need one anyway, but not everyone was born or taught morals and many don't respect other nations laws. very sad.

Another thing that's sad is some comparing a border wall to the Berlin wall ( not even in the same class), this is an embarrassment to history teachers everywhere.

Answer 12

doesnt make any sense who else is gonna build the wall besides mexicans

Answer 13

I think it's a waste of money.  Do you know that it's really easy to buy legal papers to use for entry in tons of countries?  If you have money, anything is possible.  With these papers you can take a plane, ship, whatever to get here.  Does that make the wall actually seem like it would solve the problem?  NOPE.  Do you feel any safer yet?

Check this out...or watch it next time it's on.

Answer 14

Wall of Protection.  Yes it's needed.

Just think, the wall might save you or your loved ones lives, and if it saves just one life, (which it's bound to save thousands) it's all worth it.

Answer 15

Osiyo Namy - by all means speak Cherokee .. it will remind the morons who support the wall who was here first. Wasn't it Roy Rogers who said "Your ancestors came over on the Mayflower, mine were waiting for them"

How do I feel about the wall? Against it - though I admit that many employers on the US side take advantage of Mexican employees (and from other countries, doing work at wages and under conditions few if any American citizens would accept) much of the reason Mexicans come to the US to work is because of government corruption there.

Answer 16

You know - I've actually thought about this one.  I believe this country was built on immigrants and will always believe we will have them.  I do however believe it's also a nation of laws and everyone should have to follow them.  The wall isn't going to solve anything until someone backs up the laws.  Or actually decides on the laws, for that matter.

Answer 17

We are a nation of Americans with a FEW immigrants, most people in the U.S. are not immigrants.

America was not founded on illegal immigration, build the darn wall already.

Answer 18

Why should we leave a third world country invade our society?

Answer 19

It's about time!

Answer 20

It is the Governments job under the constitution to have secure borders.

Answer 21

i think its a good thing to do...

Answer 22

wall of the shame.

Answer 23

Mexicans probably will help build the wall ( a few at least), yes, some Mexican actually care about the U.S. and want the wall too.  And the Mexicans that love America know that they are not the only ones that will be building the wall because they are not arrogant, don't lie and aren't' racist.

Answer 24

I think you can question the use of such a large amount of money for a wall and still not be soft on illegal immigration. Research indicates that illegal immigration was fairly common both ways. People would come and work and then go home. At one point people did it annually.

- There is a lot of research that indicates that the walls are not having any significant effect on first time illegal aliens. By raising the price of admission , illegal aliens simply stay rather than periodically returning home.

- I realize that many people would be horrified at the idea of creating a biometric database for American citizens like they are doing in Israel, but it should be considered.

Answer 25

I think it's a good start.

Answer 26

It's a joke, its easy to jump a fence.

If they want true border control, make a 50 foot tall fence from the pacific to the gulf, electrify it with 90,000 volts, put automated 60mm Vulcan cannons on the border and put land mines all over it.

I can GUARANTEE you all the illegal immigrants will never even think once about trying to get into the USA illegally.  

Answer 27

Come on with it. China built a wall 4500 miles long and we cant build one on our little 1500 mile boarder its really sad.

Answer 28

ABOUT TIME

Answer 29

I think it's the American version of the Berlin Wall. I wouldn't be surprised if it was intended to keep us in. Tear it to pieces!

Answer 30

Build it higher
