Voters Who Favor Border Wall Cannot Identify Border on Map

[Toro]

Amid the growing debate over building a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border, a new poll shows that voters who strongly favor building such a wall cannot successfully identify the border on a map.

Additionally, the more enthusiastic voters are about building a wall, the less likely they are to know where the border is actually situated, the poll finds.

Voters who could not correctly identify the U.S.-Mexico border provided no fewer than fifteen alternative locations for it. Nearly twenty per cent of respondents located it along the United States’ border with Canada.

Being told that they had incorrectly identified the U.S.-Mexico border did not in any way dampen voters’ enthusiasm for building a wall there, however.

To the contrary, voters believed that it would be easier to locate the border once it had a twenty-foot wall.

Among voters who could not correctly identify the border, there was strong support for the Presidential candidacy of the billionaire Donald Trump.

Ninety per cent of those voters “strongly agreed” that Trump knew where the border was, as opposed to only four per cent who said that about Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker.​

Funny but not very surprising. The ignorance about our southern border is just stunning.

And, remembering when people were asked if they like the Affordable Care Act, they said yes. When asked if they liked ObamaCare, they said no and called him a commie socialist yadda yadda.

What Stooopid Stuff fails to realize is that just because she lives off the taxpayers, doesn't mean others do. She also chooses to be ignorant of the FACT that Obama has deported more illegals than any other prez, has secured the border and has lowered illegal immigration to net zero.

And its 'have GONE'. Not, "have went".

I wish it was satire but RWs are notorious for embracing ignorance and stupidity.

Don't think so?

Look at how they're humping Drumpf's leg. Every time he tells another lie, especially if it concerns brown people, the damn fools are there, lapping it up.

Such stooopid people.

The very fact that you actually believe there are people in this country who dont know where mexico is tells me all I need to know.

I wonder if any of these Obama voters could identify the US / Mexico border?? .....

 

[PredFan]

I'm in favor of the fence and I can draw our entire border by hand from memory.
