Trump's border wall falling flat in Arizona: Reuters/Ipsos poll


"Asked if a wall would be “an effective barrier or a waste of money,” 47 percent of Arizona residents picked “waste of money” and 34 percent picked “effective barrier”, with the rest picking neither, according to the poll."

The article noted that illegal border crossings are down 35% since 2007.

Drumpf is basing his notion on a tried and true example.

Probably because too many of the "residents" had already crossed the border and are sitting in Arizona.

I think it's funny that Trump supporters still believe there was ever going to actually be a wall.

No, actually that is not true.

"...Two out of three Hispanic voters in Arizona opposed the wall, but a significant number, nearly 25 percent, support building it, the poll found.

As for illegal immigrants already in the U.S., a majority of voters in Arizona polled either disagreed or strongly disagreed that they should all be deported, regardless of whether they are registered Republicans, Democrats or independents..."

Poll: Majority of Arizona voters don't support border wall, mass deportations

I live in Arizona, and at various points near the border. The wall is a waste of money and plain stupid. A lot of us miss the pre-9/11 days when we could take trips to Mexico without the trouble our current BP created.

I certainly do. Sonora Mexico is one of Arizonas largest trading partners with an economic impact of 30billion.

With the expansion of allowable searches at border checkpoints, some people in the Tucson metro can be subjected to daily searches while trying to commute to work. All for the perceived safety of you pasties up in Kansas and the Midwest.

I think its funny you claim its not true, and then go on to cite statistics which show its true..
