The good and financially stable Mexicans are living Mexico. If you have a middle class or above lifestyle there you are living a good life. Most likely you never want to move here. Even if you are lower income you can get a visa and come to the United States as much as you want. And lots of the people here illegally came across legally through the border crossing. Those people have been vetted in the visa process and they are not the problem.

The ones that would be affected by a border wall are illegals that have been previously deported, drug runners and all sorts of criminals including rapists and MS-13 gang members. As well as very very poor people from central america. If you have a clean record you are not sneaking here. If you are caught you will never be able to legally cross over again.

So if you are a rapist you are sneaking over the border not crossing legally like everyone else.

Not a Trump supporter but there was truth in what he said.

Still repeating that same old lie? Trump did not call Mexicans in general and certainly not those here legally, rapists, murderers, etc. He was referring to some that are here illegally and it's just a fact! How much longer are you liberals going to repeat that lie?
