build it.
You know who agrees with me on that? Everyone. Yes, even Hispanics.
Democrats split 44/43 in favor, the closest any group comes to outright opposition. Every demographic tested, be it sex, age, race, party ID, household income, or region, tilts towards supporting a wall, with no group besides Dems less than 10 points net in favor. build it.

Every demographic tested, be it sex, age, race, party ID, household income, or region, tilts towards supporting a wall, with no group besides Dems less than 10 points net in favor. Black voters have an outright majority of 55 percent behind the idea. Two words, my friends: President Trump. voters have an outright majority of 55 percent behind the idea.

Anyway. Despite the strong support for the fence here, I think most border hawks would tolerate substituting other security measures so long as they proved effective in reducing illegal immigration. The fence is mainly symbolic: We can argue over how many illegals it would actually deter but we can’t dispute that it would demonstrate in an unusually (and literally) concrete way that the federal government really does want to reduce the flow of illegals across the border. That’s the most basic disconnect between the GOP base and its leadership in Washington. It’s not simply that Boehner and McConnell have done a bad job of getting illegal immigration under control, it’s that no one believes they even want to. Getting them to build the fence is a test of that commitment. And Trump, the builder, knows it, which is why it’s such a key part of his anti-amnesty pitch.

Oh boy.
Looks like we have a winning issue
This doesn’t get with the reports that 82% of Hispanics hate Trump, does it?
No other issue unites Americans like this issue.
64% Wow!
Fence hell, we need a wall like in the movie “Monsters”. We just need to make sure the gate is shut so those rascals don’t get in.
BUILD THE FREAKIN' FENCE!
A fence, a wall, or a moat. They won’t work until we stop letting illegals work in this country.
rifles with scopes are a more positive solution
after the first thousand or so, the migration will stop
Hope all the pundits are paying attention
There is definitely a disconnect between between the serfs and the ruling class.
Your right.
The Maginot Line didn’t work because the reward for crossing the line was greater than the penalty for trying.
Same with a border wall/fence.
Make the penalty for attempting to cross the border greater than the reward for getting across and you wouldn’t need a wall/fence, you could put up a stick with a flag on it and nobody would dare cross.
Unless they are polling illegals.
E-verify, a guest worker program with no special citizenship track, harsh penalties for employers. Could be put in place in around 24 months. A lack of employment will get them to leave. That’s why they came here in the first place
Most illegals work for cash.
“Make the penalty for attempting to cross the border greater than the reward for getting across and you wouldn’t need a wall/fence, you could put up a stick with a flag on it and nobody would dare cross.”
How about illegals that are caught spend 8 hours a day for nine months building the wall/Fence?
They get food and shelter but no pay to send home.
Good start but need to declare illegal immigration a state of national security to take judges out of the picture. No rights for illegals.
Anyone caught here will have all property seized and they will be immediately returned to their country with just the clothes on their backs.
Stop the money transfers by illegals to their families in other countries.
Cut off any public assistance or services.
Stop anchor babies.
Second time they are caught in this country illegally, 1 year, 8 hours/day 7 days /week, cleaning up the trash other illegals have thrown on private property while crossing into this country.
We can get more creative if the illegals don’t get the message.
For most of the time since the last amnesty, the American people have by 65-70% been calling for the border security and interior enforcement we were promised in the last amnesty bill. Simpson-Mazzolli was supposed to make it so we would never have to do another amnesty.
Guess what? We were lied to.
There has never been any intention by the Washington Cartel to stop the invasion and colonization of our nation.
The Cheap Labor Express owns the GOP.
Trump may be the only way to break the stranglehold they have on the GOP.
NONE of the Democrats running for office want the wall... not one of 'em.
