Should we build a border wall?
Score: 96%
Notes from the Newsroom:
President Trump ran much of his 2016 campaign on a promise to control immigration via a great wall along the southern border of the United States, paid for by Mexico. Construction of the wall has already begun in some parts of the southern border. Regardless of your beliefs on immigration, DACA, or President Trumps policies, The Thread believes that it’s important to evaluate the ability of a physical wall to address flow of undocumented people and illegal products across the border from Central and South America into the U.S. We showed you the arguments and now are asking you to decide.
