Will a wall truly help the US?

I don't think you realize you are trying to make an Israel/palestine situation in your southern border.

 

Turning good relationships with a big country like mexico into shit doesn't seem like a good idea. Also, you don't even seem to understand what mexico is in a global position if you seriously think every Mexican, or even most of them, wish to migrate to usa

If you were here to see the number of them that come in, both legally and illegally, or if you were to talk to any of the people that flee, then you wouldn't really have much to say. Here's a complete list of Mexicans who are fine in Mexico the way it is:

The rich

The cartel

 

That's it. Everyone else who stays is either incapable of leaving or too stubborn to admit their country isn't theirs anymore.

It's very different to say that most Mexicans (or almost any country) are not happy with the way their country is doing than to say they want the US to take over it. There are more than 100 million Mexicans, they have a good economy and good infrastructure in general, and since we are going by guesstimates, I would bet the number of Mexicans who would want something like that is close to nonexistant.

 

Besides there is no reason for the US to do it, Mexico is one of your biggest trading partners and doing something hostile to them would just damage heavily both countries. I live in Chile and we have ilegal inmigration problems with Peruvians and Bolivians and, now more recently, with Colombians. Still, with all the trouble that comes from it, building a wall and taking hostile actions against them would result in bad relationships and worse consecuences.

This isn't Iraq or any small country in the middle East, Mexico is a big country, with a huge population and a growing economy, any agression towards them would be simply dumb
