This will be a poll, give it a minute.

I didn’t vote for Trump, but I believe we need a wall, but it doesn’t need to span the entire border. It should cover the areas that are realistically accessible.

What do you think?

The poll is public.

I think the drug dealers use submarines. The ilegal Asians come by sea or air. I don't understand the fixation on the Southern border, when other entries are just as ilegal & dangerous.

No -- it just needs to be big enough to accommodate a photo opportunity for Trump so he can convince his base that he built it. Probably less than 100 feet long at Mar-a-Lago -- should do the trick.

I say no.

One of biggest advantages is it will require fewer Border agents to patrol the border.

Its not a silver bullet but it is necessary.

Not in all areas as has been recognized by our Healthy President Trump and border agents

It's been said over and over again that the Wall does not need to cover the entire border. Some areas are a natural barrier because of the terrain. President Trump has said it, as well as many others.

Not sure why you're even asking the question unless you never read or listen to any news.

Of course you can change it. The more mud in the water the muddier it will be.

We already have a wall in areas that need it. To build anywhere else is pointless.
