They all have one thing in common and that is this --- they have no business being here and need to leave.

Even if the economy improves, illegals are still parasites who drain us dry. In other words, they take far, far more than they give.

It's long past time for that 700 mile wall to get built. The vast majority of politicians on both sides of the aisle are in the pockets of their mega-rich donors---most who want illegal immigration to continue for various reasons. Our politicians should be embarrassed by the fact that we have illegals who get deported yet sneak right back in not once or even twice but several times. Of course, they aren't embarrassed because lining their pockets is far more important to them than looking out for their constituents.
I just laugh when people call me "racist", "bigot" and so on when I say illegal aliens NEED to be put in their place and, that means NOT being allowed to go free here in the US.

The wall is already written in law. It is not a "Trump" wall. What Trump says he will do is to carry out the law. The poll question should be rephrased like this:

All in all, would you favor or oppose building the wall on the southern border that is already written into law?

I'll be waiting for the results.

But they might still be smart enough to know the difference between to and too.

Maybe because people realize it will never be built?

It didn't work for China or East Germany and it won't work here. They'll either bribe the gate keepers or fly to Canada and walk back South. Walls never have solved anything

When Clinton was president, a wall was built along the San Diego/Tijuana border. It cut down drastically illegal crossings and crime. Walls certainly do solve things.

You also realize that the Berlin Wall was built to keep people in, not to keep them out. Big difference.

Who did they poll? New Englanders and people in the Upper Midwest?

I'm sure the townspeople in this news story would love a wall. Guess that makes them all bigots/racists/xenophobes. Take a look at them in the video:
