Should we build a wall along the border?

No.  The illegal alien problem can be handled by SEVERELY penalizing employers, and diligently finding those employers.\n\nThis will both eliminate the influx of illegals and will cause the giant mass of illegals to go back to their country to seek employment.

Let's call it the "American Wall" since American will be paying for it.\n\nWho knows what exactly is going on with it whether it will even be funded.\n\nIt should be called the, "Just Go Around Wall"\n\nIt's a start in the RIGHT direction!\n\nThe politicans would make very bad Ranchers, they would build a 3 sided pen and wonder why their cows keep getting out.

NO-\n\nInstead Of BERLINIZING Our Borders, I Think That The \nNATIONAL GUARD Should Be Mobilized At The State Level To Secure Our Borders On A ROTATING Watch\nArmed Guardsmen Alongside The Border Patrol \nWITH AUTHORIZATION WILL STOP The Flow)\n\nA Little HARSH You Say??? GOOD ... Thats What It Takes\nAfter A Few INFILTRATORS Get The Headshot, THEY WILL STOP COMING\n(And Its COST EFFECTIVE)\n\nThe NATIONAL GUARD Should GUARD The NATION Instead Of Being Sent Overseas\n\nThe CANADIANS Do A GREAT Job On Their Border,\n(YEA I Know -Youre ALL Gonna Throw 9/11 At Me) \nBUT We Should By All Means Nessesary Put A Series Of Border Patrols At The Northern Border Too AND Assist The Canadians

Yeahhhh!  Let's be just like Mexico! That's something to aspire to.  I assume your point is that we shouldn't let Mexicans come across our borders because they don't let Americans in.  So basically, you're suggesting that we should adopt the social policies of a THIRD WORLD NATION!!

People have to realize that even if it does get built, illegal immigrants will always find a way in. It doesn't matter whether or not the walls gets built, because they will continue to be here. In other words, building the wall will just be another example of how we waste our money. Think about it!!!

See we are having a problem with pregnant women, and old men, and Mexicans like that. They come over here and jump on welfare. \nIf we build a wall....the ones that are physically fit enough to climb the wall...and smart enough to get around the wall, will be welcome here, to work in the fields, and other jobs that the "white man" ain't gonna do !!!  I think it's a pretty good idea!! lmao

What?  Here we go again.  Actually, unless you are native American you are immigrants.  As to the brick in the wall, well that should have been built long before you had a chance to ask this stupid question.  But I am all for the two points.  When I get YOUR point, I may come up with a better answer.\n\nTake Care

Stop? No.\n\nWill the National Guard help at all?  In their present "supporting role", all they will be able to do is count how many illegal border crossers run past them and radio it to the Border Patrol.\n\nWill a wall help? Anecdotal evidence from parts of the border that have walls says that it will reduce the number of crossings but nothing will stop some crossings. Even the Berlin Wall didn't stop people from crossing but the numbers that did make it were really small.  (Please note that I am not saying that we need to make our southern border like the Berlin Wall, I am merely pointing out that no wall is 100% crossing proof but they do cut down on the easy crossings).

If you meant a wall to keep the politicos all contained--that would be fabulous and then we could prevent them from coming into the states and causing all kinds of problems.  If they want immigration reform and to build a wall, then yeah, let's build the wall around DC.

I wish we could. Only the people who own private property along the border may put up a fence. Government property only has posts and barbed chicken wire at best. At worst, there is NOTHING to show the border but a dirt road.\nOur brilliant governor Perry recently suggested a "virtual" fence for the border. People could watch at various webcams for illegals! I do not recall the total budget it required. All I could envision was how a $2.98 can of black spray paint (bought from the local dollar store), could destroy the virtual fence. \nRight now, the guardsmen cannot detain or deter any illegals, merely make a note of their crossing. My guess is they are doing an illgeal alien census.

You actually have a great idea. Make the Mexican immigrants join our military, and then have them guard the border against other Mexicans.

The Earth, this country included, was, is, and will be based on the migration of people.  I think that it is rediculous to keep people from moving about the planet. And I think it is rediculous to build a wall to keep people off of land that, though you think belongs to you, does not belong to you.\n\nNo - a wall should not be built along the US/Mexico border.

I agree that the wall is a dumb idea; symbolic mostly; and say, in very high traffic places, it may be beficial.\nJailing immigrants is NOT the solution, because it would be much, MUCH more expensive than building the wall. \nYour idea of investing in Mexico is interesting; except, of course, for the fact that that takes away from AMERICAN jobs and american economic progress.

Fences on the border.
