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 What has been built has also been constructed "in place of dilapidated and outdated designs," according to the report, so, technically at the time the report was released, no completely new border wall had been built.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.

The wall should be the fundamental basis of border security with tech augmentation like motion sensors, sound discriminators and quick reaction teams to monitor and respond.

I’ve read there are things like vibration detectors because when Dems were bragging that illegals cut through the wall “easily”, others noted that portion of the wall did not yet have technology installed to detect such actions.

I need to see the internals on this Newsweek poll....
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Unfortunately, the way I see it, the best defense is a good offense.
We will have to invade and occupy Mexico one day. Maybe in ten years, fifty years, but it’s inevitable.
Oh please do any of you even begin to believe this poll?
Neither the poll or the significance of the result have any value, except as propaganda.
combine that with highly aggressive deportation
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is a MUST.
We are not currently removing more than are coming in.
We are not winning until outflows exceed influx.
The difference is that we’re creating the openings as we go along......and we will put eyes on them.
Sooner or later, we're going to be forced to go down there and straighten their shit out.
Bees in their mouths? I’m sorry I’m old school and will stick with frickin’ lasers on their heads.
Walls seem to work pretty well in Israel.
The difference would be, instead of just walking around no trespassing signs they will have to break and enter.
>NEARLY 70 PERCENT OF PEOPLE IN MEXICO BELIEVE TRUMP’S WALL WILL DO NOTHING TO STOP BORDER-CROSSERS: POLL
So? What do people in Ecuador think?

Who wouldn’t believe a poll with these sponsors?!
We’ll see if the wall is not effective. If that’s the case, Gatling gun is always an option... Even without the wall.
*sigh*
What don’t liberals understand about common sense?
Walls/fences SLOW DOWN anyone trying to pass them. They don’t HAVE to be impervious, they just need to slow the efforts. This is why they’ve been used for centuries in warfare as well as in every-day issues.
Slow them - easier to spy and catch.
And that’s why also need to shoot on sight. Or get a moat with sharks with bees in their mouths.

Or just get herds of goats. No ones’ afraid of goats.
genetically modified goats. Carnivorous goats with shark teeth and piranha mass attack instincts.
Goats that will walk right up to the people just as they’re massing up to jump the wall. Friendly goats. Lots and lots of goats.
Then the screaming starts.
I would like to see boarder agents and ICE answer this question
This coming from a rag which just fired a reporter for lying. I guess they haven’t learned anything.
Nearly 90 percent of Barrows-Parker gang believe additional bank security will not reduce frequency of robberies.
