Is the Border Wall Bad for Immigration? | Man on the Street

There's some border wall built before in the last four years there's border wall built. Do you think that we should be looking to tear down the border wall that was built? Yes. Why do you say that? Because I think everyone should have the opportunity to come. I don't really care that much if people come illegally or legally. Personally, I'm all for it. What about like any people who come in who might want to take advantage of a system or are criminals? Like not having a border wall might make it easier for those people to come in. Well, it would, but I don't know. I feel like a border wall raises a lot of issues. Also, the environment too. I just think it's a little overkill. Yeah. Yeah. Would you say that you're fine with people like criminals and such coming into the country? Well, obviously not, but I mean, obviously if people are coming illegally, you can't screen that, but I guess. So would you want to stop criminals coming into the country? Well, yeah, but you think a border wall would help stop them? Yeah, but I don't think I would want a border wall. So I think there are other ways and I'm still all right with people coming illegally really. Let's say you have an apartment or house around here. Yeah. Like you're having a party at your house and 10 people are coming to your party and one of those people coming to your party is a known murderer. Do you let all of the people into your party, including the murderer, or do you let none of them in? None of them, but that's my apartment. America is a country, different, different situation. Yeah. So you're fine with letting murderers into America? No, but yeah, no. Fair enough. But if the other nine people are good and they want better opportunities to come to America, then I'm okay with it. Yeah. I love those people. I want them all to be able to come to America. That's why I myself support a wall to stop illegal immigration and then I support making it easier for people to legally come. Okay. Yeah. What do you think about that? I still disagree. I don't want a wall to be built. You think the wall's racist? Yeah. Is what I just said racist, you think? No, because I understand you don't want, you want to make it easier for other people to come, but well actually yes, because I think the wall is racist when I think about it. Yeah. I think it makes... I want to build a wall because I'm less racist for wanting to build a wall because I want to help people who are underprivileged or might not have the best opportunities by not letting them get undercut by people who want to take advantage of a system or who are criminals. So in terms of people from Mexico or South America who want to come here for better opportunities that are obviously a different race, I feel like I care about them more because I want them to have the best opportunity versus letting bad people in. At the same time, you're closing off opportunities to lots of people who might not have the means to come legally and well, yeah, I think... Yeah. That's why I want to make the system easier for people to come in here legally so that it's not almost incentivized. Then a wall is going to be built and I don't think it would be made easier. I don't think that's going to happen if a wall... Bureaucracy is tough with the government and everything, but I would hope so. You know, that's at least a plan. I guess in a perfect world, but I wouldn't want to build a wall and close it off to all of these people who I think should be able to come to America. Would you let an illegal immigrant live with you? No. Well, if I knew them. Okay, fair enough. Yeah. Well, that's all we got, friend. Thanks for doing the interview. Appreciate it. What's up, guys?
