Rasmussen poll: Most don't want border wall

By Rebecca Savransky - 07/31/17 02:04 PM EDT

A majority of likely voters in a new poll doesn't think the U.S. should build a wall along the country's southern border.

The conservative-leaning Rasmussen Reports poll finds that 37 percent of likely voters said the U.S. should construct a border wall in an effort to curb illegal immigration.

Most Americans continue to oppose U.S. border wall, doubt Mexico would pay for it

By Rob Suls

As was the case throughout the presidential campaign, more Americans continue to oppose (62%) than favor (35%) building a wall along the entire U.S. border with Mexico. And while President Donald Trump has said the U.S. would make Mexico pay for the wall, the public is broadly skeptical: 70% think the U.S. would ultimately pay for the wall, compared with just 16% who think Mexico would pay for it.

Poll: Americans oppose Trump’s wall, easing regulations

By LOUIS NELSON

American voters oppose construction of a wall on America’s southern border with Mexico, restarting work on controversial pipeline projects and loosening environmental and financial regulations, according to a Quinnipiac poll released Wednesday.

On the president’s promised wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, voters opposed its construction, 59 percent to 38 percent. Opposition to the wall grew when respondents were asked how they felt about the project if U.S. tax payers were forced to pay for it. In such a scenario, those polled opposed the wall, 63 percent to 35 percent. From day one of his campaign, the president has promised that Mexico would pay for the border wall, although Mexico’s president has steadfastly insisted that his government will not.


I have stated earlier that most Americans don't want the border wall, and most don't believe Mexico will directly pay for it. My assertion here is that the majority of Americans would view that the implementation of a cash transfer tax would effectively be viewed by a majority as "Mexico" paying for the wall --- even if the country of Mexico does not pay for it directly.

The left better get used to the concept of this tax because if the wall is built they can be pretty assured that it will be put into place.

IMO your assertion is wrong.I also think your prediction that Trump would get such a tax through Congress is wrong as well.

Well only time will tell. First they need to build the wall before this even becomes a discussion in Congress.
 
Trump to Peña Nieto: border wall not so important – just don't say you won't pay
Report reveals leaked transcripts of phone call between US and Mexican presidents, in which Trump begs Peña Nieto not to tell press he won’t pay for wall



Donald Trump suggested his demand for payment for a border wall with Mexico was merely a political ploy, and told Mexico’s president his refusal to pay should not be mentioned in public.

Trump said: “From an economic issue, it is the least important thing we were talking about.”

He added: “Psychologically, it means something.”
Referring to the Mexican president’s insistence that he would not pay, Trump said: “You cannot say that to the press. The press is going to go with that and I cannot live with that. You cannot say that to the press because I cannot negotiate under those circumstances.”

Well if the Democrats want DACA I think we will see the initial billion of funding put into place.

You are really trying to find any way for the wall funding other than the way Trump said it would be funded :D

Don't count on your latest method.IIRC Dems have implied they wont trade a wall for DACA.
