So you're not here to have an open and honest discussion. You're here to call people names. Got it

The discussions on the wall should be more specific.
1. Is it important to secure the border?
2. Is it necessary to stop illegal immigrants and drugs?
3. Is a wall sufficient to stop illegal immigrants and drug? (hint: tunnel)
4. Does it cost money to maintain the wall?

The conservatives agree with 1 and 2, the liberals believe humans cannot be illegal so they don't totally agree with 2.
Trump supporters are naive enough to believe in 3.
Hardcore Trump supporters even believe a wall won't cost more money once it's built.
3. Not all but a lot of it

You mean like the US Census? Which is essentially an interview with no collaborating verification of the answers given. And yet, we based spending of Trillions of dollars on that.

Think of how many studies are based on statistical projections of interviews on a sample. Are you sure you want to throw them all out? Interviews are recognized as a tried and true qualitative research method.

No, that's just your own personal interpretation of "border security." A wall without security, by the way, would be useless. People would just tunnel under or climb over. Surely you've read about tunnels?

Cheaper than maintaining illegal invaders and anchor babies. Get real.

It's not about separating the country into 2, it's about preventing people from escaping when this country collapses.
