Rasmussen Reports along with NumbersUSA conducted a study in which they found that 67% of Americans support a wall to help limit the number of migrants coming into the country illegally.

Yes, and the good walls do work. It's an effective tool to deter illegal immigration. It should be a part of the solution. Too bad that Biden wouldn't finish it.

What on earth is the matter with the other 33%?

They do. They aren't perfect, but it takes huge effort for the illegal aliens to defeat them. So far fewer succeed in getting over or past them, which lets the Border Patrol free up a lot more officers to catch and deport them, instead of letting literally millions walk right in.

Sounds great to me.

So, can we get Biden to start building the Wall again?

What's the delay?

Before questions the logistics of creating such a partition or how enforcement could be carried out my response would be to look at what's going on in places such as India where they're creating thousands of miles worth of barriers with their neighbours to curtail illegal migration, smuggling and terrorism. We could deploy our military on the border to patrol every metre of it that isn't some impassable or inhospitable natural barrier and chances are illegal migration would be reduced to a light trickle.

Probably not hard to get Biden to start building the wall again.

The hard part is getting his handlers and others who take care of him and control him, to agree. They are hardcore open-borders marxists. Keeping out illegal aliens is strictly against their agenda.

Good walls help the Border Patrol do their jobs more effectively and would also help the military if we sent them down there.

A 10ft wall just requires an 11ft ladder.

I will not vote for Trump and believe that Biden isn't doing enough about the border. I don't think Trump did enough -- the wall was for show. It was an expensive demonstrative symbol but it did nothing to curtail the impact on the border (as noted by the 2019 high levels of crossing and the surge in 2021 once the pandemic was restored.

THe wall isn't the answer.

It was a simple tool...easy symbol. More resources are needed, better policies and consistency. Not band aids that kick the can down the road.
