Would a wall stop people from crossing the America-Mexico border?

Truthfully, I'm a bit doubtful of what the politicians say. If a wall were built, wouln't people just hop a boat and sail for American shores? Isn't that how everbody except the native American Indians (they walked over the Berring Strait) orignally got here?

It wouldn't work and it would be costly. The best way to solve the problem is to fine the hell out of companies like Tyson who hire illegals at wages higher than can be made in Mexico but lower than they would have to pay to legal Americans. If the financial hardship were great enough for these companies, there would be no reason to hire illegals and, in turn, illegals would not come to America. The legislations already exists for such fines, however, most companies only recieve a slap on the wrist for their offenses.

Wall?


Berlin wall?


that didnt stop the east berliners


fire for effect over
Actually, our shores are more secure because of the Coast Guard.

A wall would not stop any one it is a silly idea and a waste of money. what is needed is real immigration reform which allows people to come here more easily, but which then insists that they become citizens. The real drain on the system is not illegals it is green card holders who maintain a loyalty to their home country and not to the US. It should be five years on a green card either become a citizen or go back

The wall would stop them if we took our troops and stationed them on our side of the wall and shot those who attempted to climb over!

Tunnels are easy. Just check out the border between Gaza and Egypt.

It's a shame that people want to put up walls. We are dealing with people not cattle. Last time I checked we didn't create this land we live on so how are we to say who can't go where. It's racism at it's worst baby. Things are going to get worst if we can see that this world belongs to no man...

It would help,but thats just part of the solution.More agents,more detection systems,more aerial surveillance,military personell(if necessary)

The idea of a wall is funny. It's hilarious. Do you really think that these rich businessowners who are US citizens by the way will let you cut off their supply of cheap labor? You know that's totally un-American. People here will still find a way to get that cheap labor. This isn't about the illegal immigrants. When will people realize? All this democratic, patriotic, b.s. is foolish. People in America are so arrogant, egotistical, and outright stupid. They have the attitude like its their land which was stolen by genocide and warfare to begin with. Now they want to kick some people out of suppossedly "their" country. If you want the illegal immigrants to go home, do one simple thing: QUIT BUYING PRODUCTS THAT REQUIRE CHEAP IMMIGRANT LABOR. HOW MANY OF YOU ARE PREPARED TO QUIT SHOPPING AT WAL MART OR PATRONIZING LOCAL HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS? Now when you're slapped with that harsh reality illegal immigration don't seem as bad does it?

Maybe not, but it would slow them down.

ROUND THEM UP AND SEND THEM HOME!!!!!!!!!


Sweet Tea & Lemons
It may not stop all of them but is will slow them down and send a message that Americans want people to come here legally !!!!!!!!

Tell that to those in east Berlin the wall did not work.tell that to the Israeli ,Tell that to India that is building one now a lot bigger,tell that to San Diego that has seen it's crime go down 90%.where ever a wall is used it works real good every time ,get the dam wall up,it can be done in 3 weeks if they want to.

Put up a wall and they dig tunnels!!!
I just can not understand why in the world the Mexican President closed his southern borders (he refused to alllow those from central and southern american people in) but pushes for his people to invade America..... Why doesn't he just provide employment for them and keep them there.....

the only way i think is mine fields. u cross it u get ur leg blown off. as for in the water, they need big huge walls that go all around america, in the oceans.realistically, there is no way of keeping them out. look @ the berlin wall, ppl still got over that. i cant see a fool-proof solution for the current immigration problem. there just isnt one that would work.

I like George Carlin's solution better.... and he kills two birds with one stone:

George Carlin's Solution to Save Gasoline

"Bush wants us to cut the amount of gas we use. The best way to stop using so much gas is to deport 11 million illegal immigrants! That would be 11 million less people using our gas. The price of gas would come down. Bring our troops home from Iraq to guard the border. When they catch an illegal immigrant crossing the border,hand him a canteen, rifle and some ammo, and ship him to Iraq. Tell him if he wants to come to America,then he must serve a tour in the military.

Give him a soldier's pay while he's there and tax him on it.After his tour, he will be allowed to become a citizen since he defended this country. He will also be registered to be taxed and be a legal patriot.

This option will probably deter illegal immigration and provide a solution for the troops in Iraq and the aliens trying to make a better life for themselves. If they refuse to serve, ship them to Iraq anyway, without the canteen, rifle, or ammo. Problem solved."

it wouldnt stop it, but it would slow it down. you can never fully stop anything, but you can have it under control, and that is what we are trying to do.

I am a native American, I was born here hence-I am native here!

We can never get rid of illegal immigration, because people do come by boat--but there will NEVER be 12million boaters illegal migrating to our country!

I can't even begin to image the cost.....However, you can bet your bottom dollar, illegals would be the one's building it, ironic, isn't it?

Yes a Wall is going to stop/ slow down illegal aliens so that border patrol agents could catch them.

btw don't we have a Coast guard to stop illegal aliens from coming by sea?


hera
It would if it were 15 feet tall and made of reinforced concrete with wires pointing towards Mexico to keep people out...I mean REALLY! Why in the world do our military have fences around the posts? To keep people OUT!

The totaltitarian state of East Germany built a wall to contain one half of a single city--Berlin. It didn't work.

The ancient Chinese built a huge wall to keep out the barbarians. Building it bankrupted them, allowing the same barbarians to invade and conquer. This happened TWICE.

No, we cannot built a three-thousand-long wall that will do any good at all.
