Yeah I am sure the survey was a fill in the blank by completely unbiased individuals.Yes, completely equivalent. One guy saying X about himself, versus thousands of people saying something about him. I can see no difference in those two.
A wall wont keep them out.
If anything Biden shows that policy has more of an impact than physical barriers do.
We didnt suddenly tear down what walls we have, all that changed is that Biden started welcoming illegal border crossers.

Just like you and your president this study is a complete joke. Yet you post it like it is some kind of proof Biden is doing a good job. Your link shows that Democrats were the major ones that liked Biden. Shocking.
Oh and 12,055 people sampled. I mean LOL. But keep in slurping that demented look aid.
We wouldn't have needed border security if we had invested the money in central and south america that we did in china.
We've invested a lot in South and central America - just the wrong products and few beneficiaries. And the bigger problem - their US ports of entry by necessity require the same porous borders that people importers need.
These people hiked across potentially thousands of miles of rough area, got across a navigable river, are willing to risk jail time, finally get to the last 20 feet of their journey, see a wall, and say eff it, I am going home?Two points:
We don't have a solid wall, and some we do is readily scalable, but they are a first line of deterrence even if they aren't impregnable in and of themselves. Choke points like the one in the river crossing are easily defended ... if somebody shows up to stop it.
Policy does indeed have an impact. Combine effective policy with border security and you've got a winner.

Let's put it this way. There is a 20/30/40 foot wall between your family and a much better life. Is that wall stopping you? Is it even getting you to hesitate or even think that a better life isnt worth it?
Cause if that was me, and all I had to do was get over a wall you better believe I am getting over that wall.

Then policy should have failed also. Walls and other barriers work pretty well around prisons, and the Berlin Wall was very effective, and yes both are augmented. It's always much easier for active measures to work when passive measures slow ingress - even a hastily erected barricade or abatis or a natural geographic boundary, etc. Those guys rowing people across could have been shut down quickly and easily with little effort. This is the same argument about walls, doors, windows, and locks to protect people and possessions; they aren't foolproof, but some are extremely effective.
