I'm not talking about my own neighborhood. I'm talking about what poll after poll, reflected by the politicians' own rhetoric, has shown, that people want the border secured. There's no disputing that.

Yes. They do want the border secured...but if you further explore that you will discover that most want it secured essentially in the way the President has proposed.

I think you will find that almost every single person on this site wants something done. In fact most American's want something done. That is not the issue. The issue is how do we get there.

Building a wall (not a fence) and instantaneously deporting 20 million people is a loser.

Securing the border, tough naturalization requirements, including an
English requirement, guest worker programs, enforcing current laws are winners. But even then, only 7 percent of the population ranks that high on their priority list. (At least that was the last poll I saw about a week ago.)
