I don’t believe this poll at all. 700 people not voters not citizens just people. I could go to certain sections of California and get zero percent support
So what?
Actually Trump has said that it doesn’t need to be along the entire border because there are hundreds of miles where the natural barriers are pretty much impassible.
Adios America.
The most impassable part of the border would be the mountainous area around Cochise County, AZ. Yet, that is one of the most active areas for illegal crossings -- precisely because of its remote and difficult landscape. The rest of the Western Border is mostly open desert.
Fact is, the wall needs to extend unbroken from the Pacific to El Paso.
From there to the Gulf, a wall is impractical -- since the border is a river, the Rio Grande. Since it's the only water source for miles, you can't deny access to livestock or wild animals.
As the Israelis have demonstrated along the Jordan, river borders can be effectively defended with mobile troops and technology.
I don’t know what he was referring to, just reporting what I’ve heard him say more than once. As for the Rio Grande, it seems to me some kind of system of guzzlers using water from the river could be built as part of a wall.
I bet if they changed the poll question from BUILD A WALL to SECURE THE BORDER it would have received majority support.
Or just change the question to enforce immigration laws
This from the guys who have lied to telling us fewer invaders are sneaking into our country.
