We really need this wall for our safety and if they want to be here they need to do it the right way.

US is not a country if we cannot control our borders; it's not the only solution, but also acts as a strong visual detriment. US spends a bucket of $ on illegals & the cost will be offset by savings

We need border security. The Vatican has a wall, Obama has a wall. They do this for security. A nation requires a strong border.

I support the wall. However a unmaned wall will not fix the problem. There needs to be guard towers with armed guards that are allowed to shot on site.

There are to many illegal immigrants coming into our Country without being vetted. If they don't do it LEGALLY they do not belong here.

We pay too much in feeding and educating people who cross the Southern border. We have no idea of what kind of people cross that border illegally. It is nothing less than an invasion.

It’s a simple concept. I’ve been on the border. There needs to be a solid barrier. Will it solve everything ... no. But it’s the first step in the right direction.

Reasons for not building it are too stupid to ponder. Political "statement" seekers like Merkel say security can be adequate without a wall. OK smart guy...why isn't it secure??? Windbag as usual.

Border security has been a joke for too many years. Our middle class has been gutted by the supply of cheap, illegal labor.

We need the wall to help keep out the constant flow of illegals in to our country! All illegals need to be shipped out of our country. Illegal means illegal period!

Wasteful and damaging to our international image--which already needs repair. There are better ways, some more expensive, to manage the influx of people. Walls are just not efficient.

Because when the wall only covers 800 miles of a more then 2000 mile border what good is that. Money would be spent better on more enforcement officers and high tech devices then a partial wall.

Not because of cost...because it will not stop anything. If one really wants to be somewhere, they will find a way, hire more border patrol, willing to pay that tab!

That money would do more good used on our country's infrastructure or health care. I'm sure the drug cartels already have a work around for the wall anyway.

The way to keep people from fleeing dangerous countries is to make them safe. Train the Dreamers to a high level of combat readiness and send them back into those countries to clean up the killers.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
