In a poll conducted by Mexico City's Reforma newspaper and co-sponsored by The Dallas Morning News and The Mission Foods Texas-Mexico Center at Southern Methodist University, 68 percent of participants said they did not believe Trump's wall would be effective, despite billions of dollars expected to be poured into the initiative.
It is still unclear exactly how much Trump's border wall will cost, if completed. While the initial price tag was thought to be around $8 billion to $12 billion, official and unofficial estimates have ranged from over $10 billion to $70 billion.
So far, however, the Trump administration has only built just over 85 miles of border wall, with a CBP report asserting that approximately 86 miles had been built as of November 22. What has been built has also been constructed "in place of dilapidated and outdated designs," according to the report, so, technically at the time the report was released, no completely new border wall had been built.
According to the new poll, the border wall was not the only point of disappointment among Mexican nationals, with participants expressing an overwhelmingly negative view of Trump himself.
According The Dallas Morning News, 75 percent of Mexicans said they have an unfavorable view of Trump.

GREAT idea.
You are making this unnecessarily complex. They are terrorists, kill them. Doesn't matter where they live.
(BTW anyone who attacks out border should be killed)
If we had just annexed them the last time we were forced to conquer them we'd not be facing these issues now.
Probably over 70% of the population of Mexico is illiterate.
How could they conduct much of a poll?
I don’t give a hoot what the Mexicans think about the effectiveness of the wall.
We WILL stop them—one way OR ANOTHER.
There’s a poll that really matters. Who paid for that One?
Next up: MS13 weighs in.
These are the people who build cities out of plywood over volcanoes and on major fault lines.
You know what? I don’t put a whole lot of credence into what the Mexicans say.
P
Great point!
So now that this ‘poll’ indicates Mexico thinks the Wall is ineffective, then Democrats should stop arguing about it!
“According to the new poll, the border wall was not the only point of disappointment among Mexican nationals, with participants expressing an overwhelmingly negative view of Trump himself. “
Sounds more like a hit piece designed to make us doubt the efficacy of the wall....because a lot of America-hating beaners (ouch - I’m a bigot) scoff at it, we should probably abandon it...
OAN shows the cost of illegals to us - approaching $300 Billion this year and they point out that President Trump only asked for $5 Billion for the wall and Congress said it was too much....
They can tear down the borders, support all Mexicans who walk across the old borders... Even give free medical care AND/OR pay everyone $50 an hour. Liberal elites can have it all...
Why disagree when both sides can have it all?
Peacefully split the country into two countries.
Paging Capt. Obvious:
Who cares?
Did they poll Germans to see how many approved of Hitler?
I am so sick of polls.
