A wall would not hurt, and building of it, the maintenance of it, the Manning of it would create jobs...Funny, I saw the wall as representing freedom and liberty. Freedom and Liberty for people who live along the border not to have to worry about criminals, thugs, and desperate people trying to smuggle drugs and people through their property at night leaving all kinds of trash behind them for you to deal with, freedom and liberty to be able to go to bed at night with your window open and not worry about some Mexican breaking into your house to rob and rape you. The freedom and liberty to live in an open and honest society where people around you are documented American citizens and not some greasy wetback who doesn't even speak English trying to run some scam on you while looking out for the Police. The freedom and liberty to know that money you pay in taxes is going more for things which make the country better rather than just trying to keep it from getting worse.
Even when those living close to the border don't want the wall?
Proximity to the border does not matter when it comes to views about U.S. President Donald Trump’s proposed border wall. Only about one-third (32%) of Americans near the border and 35% of those living further away from the border approve of the proposed wall. Mexicans are overwhelmingly united in opposition: Only 3% of Mexicans within 200 miles from the border and 5% of Mexicans further from the border approve of Trump’s plan.
How Americans, Mexicans see each other differs for those closer to border
By your logic, we shouldn't build prisons either because 98% of the people in them don't want to be there and 88% of the people in the area don't want one in their backyard.
BESIDES, how did we let you get away with making this "Trump's Wall?" THE WALL IS ALREADY THERE! There has been a barrier there for a LONG TIME. It has been promised and supported by most every president and politician on both sides of the aisle! All Trump is trying to do is FINISH the wall and make it complete and effective.
You just proclaimed that the wall represents freedom because of what it would mean to the people who actually live on the border, I showed you they don't want it.
And, fyi, most/many prisons aren't in 'peoples' backyards'.
The wall is not there, some fencing is and apparently Trump is ripping down his own wall as many of his surrogates are saying that much of the wall will only be a fence. Funny, just a little while ago as Mexico was proclaiming they weren't going to pay for it Trump said the wall was only going to get higher. What a lie that was, amiright?
Look pea-brain, why don't you know when you've lost the argument and admit defeat gracefully. You have shown NOTHING but some website with a pro-Mexican agenda. I know for a fact that the Americans down there WANT THE WALL. But then, what is the point trying to carry on a conversation with an idiot like you who stands there claiming the wall is not there even as 100,000 pictures have been shown of the Border Patrol patrolling it and Mexicans trying to climb over it or get through the places it is broken down. Not to mention every president going back as far as I can remember being for it and promising to address the issue. The wall is going up, period. Had Mexicans respected the original wall in the first place, they wouldn't have to face the prospect of this new one being twice as high and 10X as impenetrable. If you don't like it, if Mexicans don't like it, they only have themselves to blame and you can all go suck a donkey's ass.
No, like most Americans they don't wan the wall, you can proclaim to have that info first hand and I'd assume it's anecdotal at best.
The current 'border wall' is mostly fence, sorry.
The rest of your post is just blathering anger.
Progressives interests are not my interests so there will always be disagreement there... that’s life
