Imagine the U.S. was taken over by radical Stalinists. Life is so miserable that you desperately want to move to a more free country but emigration is banned. Canada is just as bad. Your best hope is to escape through Mexico.
There's just one problem. Mexico has built a wall.
Would you give up your plans to escape because of the wall Mexico built? Would a wall discourage the kind of person so motivated that they would travel 1,000 miles on foot across territory controlled by drug cartels who are likely to rape or murder them?
I'm looking for honest rational answers.

According to open border advocates and other pro-illegal immigration scum a border wall is useless. So using that logic how will it stop someone from fleeing then?
It seems asking Trump supporters for a rational answer may be asking too much.

No wall will stop them. One fact can cause fewer illegals. Make them ineligible for any social welfare relief. If they had to find relatives or friends in this Country to support them, the flow would be reduced. Would it be a trickle? That's an unknown because it depends how bad it is in their National home environment. The "banana Republics," of history and USA Corporatism./Imagine the U.S. was taken over by radical Stalinists.

It was a rational response to your post.
They are not leaving the Stalinist lifestyle you described making your question a bit dishonest. Most of them coming here are doing so for the economic opportunities America offers. They are fleeing poverty.Imagine the U.S. was taken over by radical Stalinists. Life is so miserable that you desperately want to move to a more free country but emigration is banned.

Using the word 'scum' to describe people with differing options is rational? Actually in this day and age with Trump as Prez, unfortunately maybe it is.
Sadly, yes.It seems asking Trump supporters for a rational answer may be asking too much.
Is calling an orange an orange deplorable?But calling people deplorables is acceptable?
I am no Trump supporter. If its rational for a open border and illegal immigration advocate to tell us that a border wall is useless and won't stop illegal immigration. Then it is just as rational for me to ask how this wall that you people say is useless will stop us from fleeing.
Wow.
The post is clearly about the efficacy of a wall. I'm asking if a wall would prevent you from escaping exactly because I believe that the wall would be ineffective. Obviously, I believe a wall would be useless. I'm trying to help Trump wall supporters understand why. Motivated people won't be dissuaded by a wall. They'll do whatever it takes to climb the wall or go around it. If the risk of getting raped or murdered by drug cartels on their journey doesn't dissuade them what makes anyone think a wall will?

Actually it's more like you call people scum for existing differently than you, I call you a deplorable because you make that choice: simple.

How well someone can get over a wall depends on how it is built and it ifs properly manned.As far as I know no border wall supporter is saying build it and forget it. If Mexico was serious about stopping illegal entry into their country then their wall would be well built and properly manned.
The fact some people may not be deterred does not mean attempting to deter should be abandoned. Besides, there are other reasons for the border wall.
But calling people deplorables is acceptable?
Ahh...now we're talking. It's not the wall that would stop you. It's guards detecting you crossing the wall and apprehending you that would stop you.
So, why not spend money on the kind of security that detects people crossing the border rather than waste it on a wall that does nothing but create a high school gym physical fitness challenge?
I hope you understand my point. I'm fine with border security. So are Democrats. We're not fine with wasting money on a useless ugly wall.
If any existed I might agree with you.So I am right calling open border advocates and pro-illegal immigration advocates a bunch of scum.
Horse face.. S**t... . Scum... Enemies of the people... The list is endless. You're a Trump supporter and you really want to point fingers? Lol
