Is building a boarder fence along our Southern States a good or bad idea?

Do we really want to stop the influx of illegal immigration into this country? I have heard both sides of the arguement, but I'm interested in what yahoo members have to say.

Answer:
Ever heard of wire cutters?

What's amazing about this is that it doesn't do anything except waste money. Hell, many illegal immigrants use tunnels. So, a fence does wonders, huh?

There is no simple solution to illegal immigration. As the daughter of a man whose entire family immigrated legally, I'm opposed to illegal immigration because I don't see why they can't just follow the rules. I see the decision to do it illegally as an insult to my father and his family for the hard work they put into becoming citizens.

At the same time, America should take it as an intense compliment that Hispanics would risk life and limb just to live here. And we shouldn't necessarily reward them for that, but we don't have to be cruel to them either.
there should be a moratorium on all immigration into the u.s.
I think its a waste of money, the money should be used for better resources, but I am just a simple tax payer, and the prez will do whatever he wants. Yeah, its great idea to beef up the bordrer and keep the illegals out, but we also need to enforce the immigration laws better, and start looking for the illegal ones already here and deport them.
Yes, it is a good idea. Good fences make good neighbors! The illegal aliens have not given anything to the US except increase in disease, crime and drugs. If you need any proof, just visit a California hospital and their jails and prisons.
It won't stop anything so it is a waste of money. Who can't get over a fence if they want to bad enough?
people are always going to find a way around it if they really want it. It just depends on how much illegal immigrants want to came into the US and what they would risk to get past the authorities
The fence is a good start, but we also need enforcement of all immigration laws.
Removing the Federal Reserve from our government and abolishing the IRS and turning fair tax collection and accounting over to the Government Accountability Office(GAO) i believe would have far better results. Just an idea however.
Good idea only it should be on the south side of mexico.
i think that it is a good idea only because it is unfair to my family members in other countries who have applied for citizenship in america and have been waiting for an answer for almost twenty years.
GREAT IDEA!!! It can't totally stop it but it can't hurt! Make it harder for the illegal alien criminals to come across. At San Diego the fence is pretty good. Crossings have gone DOWN at that point! So to all the critics of the fence that say it doesn't work, San Diego is proof it does.

Besides, if it doesn't work, way is Mexico so upset (AKA scared) about a wall? It's simple, because it WILL work.

As for if we want to "stop the influx" of the illegal alien criminals - DUH, YES!!!! They are destroying our country. BTW, there is no such thing an an "illegal immigrant." Immigrants are here LEGALLY. We have 20+ MILLION illegal alien CRIMINALS here in the US and they are costing us BILLIONS each year.
its a waste of tax payers money.if they want in the us bad enough they will find a way.
A better idea is a field of landmines at the border. The Illegal invasion must be stopped. It is an invasion, we don't need tens of millions of farmworkers, fast food cooks, maids, and day laborers.
Neither, it's just plain stupid
