a lot of people argue that we should build a wall along the boarder of the US and Mexico. what r your opinions

Question

Would it work?
Is it worth the money?
Why might it be a good or bad thing?

Answer 1

Waste of money, really. People can hop fences, and if you actually tried to build a wall big enough to really slow down the flow, it would have to be a *huge* wall, with a price tag to match. And for the anti-terrorism reasoning, NO one wall is going to stop some nut job who is that determined.

The money would be much better spent examining why it is people are leaving mexico in the first place, and maybe trying to fix that. Instead of putting a billion dollars into a breachable concrete wall, maybe that money could subsidize health care or income for these people in their own homeland? I don't know how Mexico's government would accept that, but... maybe someone should ask the question

Answer 2

LOL! If my dad had his way he might rebuild Hadrian's Wall and decrease us off from the English for good, border controls and all! a great massive wall is going too some distance and that i do no longer care who does not like it, if this occasion maintains the place each and every man or woman u . s . a . desires to be self contained and close itself faraway from the international - the place are we going to finally end up? such as you mentioned, with partitions and lids and stuff? I understand that the international isn't an undemanding place to stay good now yet that's no longer the respond. anybody might quickly be complaining come trip time does no longer they? Or whilst their standard nutrients exchange into in the back of schedule in being brought to the food market or they could no longer order that element on the internet because of the fact of stricter export / import controls? What a chilled place to stay in!!

Answer 3

Ever blew too much air into a balloon? The same principle applies here. If a wall was built all the way across, the mere force of mexicans trying to get across would break it open. As far as money goes, it would cost an enormous amount of money to do a project like that, therefore making it an expensive piece of junk.

Answer 4

No
No
Bad

I read a paper by a Nobel prize winning economist one time (cant remember his name). His idea was to build infrastructure in southern Mexico. It would be cheaper than building and manning a wall. With the infrastructure in place the businesses & trading would occur and then the people would flock there instead of here. A variant of this idea was used to get Bulgaria up to speed when it joined the E.U.

Answer 5

I say we just get a saw and cut off Mexico from North America, Bugs Bunny did it with Florida.

Answer 6

I'd say no. I don't think it would work and feel it would be way too expensive. It also would be an international relations nightmare. Plus, the work crew would probably end up being mostly 'Illegal Aliens'!

Answer 7

Bigger wall?
