There are some areas that clearly justify having a wall to control the flow. However, walls have never stopped people from crossing a border. Did the Berlin wall work? Short turn it slowed the rush to the west, long tem it came crashing down. The French’s Maginot Wall didn’t slow down the Germans in WWII. The Great Wall of China didn’t do much better. However, the Great Wall of China did some good in that it served as the first transcontinental highway. In most cases walls have proven to be monumental wastes of human resources.
Building a wall the length of the US/Mexican boarder is a huge waste of money. The problems with illegal immigration need to be attacked at its roots. The laws have to be toughened and enforced—the key word being “enforced.” It does no good to keep creating laws that no one enforces.
We need to help Mexico with its economic problems or it is going to go into a revolution. The government is already split down the middle and there is a socialist leader that just lost the Presidential election in Mexico by less than 2% points. He has sworn to start a parallel government including an army. Building a wall is like putting on a blind fold to what is really happening. We need to take the blinders off and look at the bigger picture.

When the Mexican Government starts, providing better care for their people, especially the poor, and they can! There are many rich in Mexico that can help them, get good paying jobs to support their families, and perhaps work on the infrastructure. We will not need a wall. There was much hesitation in building one, the one in Germany did not work well either. It will slow things down some, it is the first for the USA, done likely because the illegals have become so unpopular once inside the USA. That also seems to be the first! Legal immigrants have been accepted and liked well in the USA.

Its actually a fence not a wall,and we already have a few fences along our southern border.The one in CA. has actually cut the illegal aliens entry by quite a lot.They have to go to the east into AZ to cross but the apprehensions in that area are up also.So it has an effect on the flow of illegals into this country.Is it a fix all ,of course not.But it is a deterrent and we need any help this nation can get to help stop the illegal invasion .I am for building the double fence all the entire length of the border and securing that borders and not granting amnesty .I am for all legal immigrants from any country.

It is an asinine idea fueled by hate mongering, ignorance and bigotry. It will be a huge tax burden on the tax payer and only the special interest group(s) awarded the contract for the construction of the "Wall of Shame" will reap any benefit.
A wall that keep 'them' out makes us shut ins in our own nation.

this is lame but....I hate to think what "the fence" will do to wildlife (no, not mexicans) along the border..the fence helped in California so who knows...I still think it's just a way for bush to pat us on the head before elections..I would much rather see many thousands of our regular military on the border with the order to shoot on sight - no exceptions!

i think its a good idea. Just make it look nice like the Great Wall of China. Not like the ugly cheapo Berlin Wall.

70% of the population doesn't think its a waste of time or money. Most of the politicians, including GW, had to be dragged kicking and screaming (well maybe not screaming) to go along with the idea.

I think "the wall" will make it harder for the perpetrators to get over the border...for obvious reasons...a wall is an obstacle. I do not think it will curb it completely.

It would help stop the flow, to be sure - assuming it is a righteous fence. Notice the Chinese are rapidly constructing one between themselves and Korea now.
