Is Trump Wrong About A Border Wall? One Stunning Chart Has The Answer

Several European countries have erected fences to keep migrants out, and, according to the numbers, every case appears to have a large impact.

Hungary was a popular pathway for refugees on their way to Germany during the fall. When the daily illegal border crossings were at 7,000 per day, Prime Minister Viktor Orban decided to erect a fence along the border to Serbia and Croatia.

The result speaks for itself:

When the fence went up Oct. 17, the influx went down to 870 from 6,353 only a day earlier. Illegal border crossing were steadily below 40 per day throughout the rest of the month. The number picked up slightly in February, after migrants destroyed part of the fence, but it remains in the low hundreds.

See link for graphs showing sharp decline in illegal immigration after a border fence was put up. Hungary just built a fence, not even a wall, and it worked wonders.

.... See ..... proof that walls don't work ...... (Liberal Logic)

It didn’t work for Israel in WWZ!!

A fence wouldn’t stop drug traffickers. We need at least a 50’ wall.

[BraveMan]

That one seems to serve the perceived need . . .

I’m not too sure if a wall would work, but making it a felony to employ an illegal or rent an apartment to an illegal sure as hell would. I’m assuming Trump will consider those things as well besides building a wall. Money is an incredibly effective deterrent. I mean why not? From what I can tell Mexico uses that. If you overstay your visa they charge you $75 bucks per day. Compare that to illegal alien and vocal Trump critic Jorge Ramos who overstayed his visa by 20 years. Why is this punk in the country making a living?

lol. they’ll probably use that scene as proof.

[nickcarraway]

As long as the United States is incentivizing illegal immigration, then nothing will stop illegals from coming here. It’s basic conservative economics,

[patriotfury]

Your suggestion could redefine "shovel ready jobs".

But, I think Hungary also ordered the military to the borders to guard them.

If border walls don’t work, there wouldn’t be one just south of San Diego in California (of course, Gov Moonbeam really hoped that no one would remember that nearly 30 foot wall there...)

Excellent idea. You'd have to first fight the strong headwind of vocal advocates for illegals who say that deporting them / enforcing employment sanctions against them is "racist" or "nonhumanitarian" on "unChristian" or whatever. Once you get past those obstacles, great. I'd love to see it happen.

I saw Clinton today saying she wanted to know how high the wall had to be to keep the internet out. Anybody know what the hell she was talking about?

[Rome2000]

Works even better with gun towers every thousand yards.
