President Trump touted El Paso's wall as a model in his State of the Union address. But many in the Texas city say their experience doesn't mean that walls are the answer.

Wall is not an answer, forbidding illegal immigrants to vote democrats against him is the answer. BUT TRUMP DOES NOT HAVE THE GUT TO SAY SO. Where is Profile and Courage? Write the darn Executive Order on Illegal immigrant voting and let the Dems sweat

😂😂😂😡 AP...partisan much?

And just ad many say walls ARE part of the answer. Not AP of course. Unfair and unbalanced!

I want a wall because I can't be bothered to think for more than 15 seconds

Hmm, I bet you could also say that many want it. Did you record their concerns

Was in El Paso recently for a couple of weeks. Multiple residents told me the drug lords live with their families in El Paso. Do their violent & dangerous business in Juarez, MX. They keep the violence from coming across the border, not the fencing for families' safety.

Libra5405 It's not a cure, it is a large part of prevention though. It is the basis for everything else we need to do, short of militarizing the border.

Then tear it down. I mean it. Tear it down. I dare you.

So why do we have walls in prisons I guess they don’t work! AP propaganda news for liberal Democrats! No credibility at all

Always critizing the President.Never giving credit when it’s due

Neither does a flashing red light and a drone ! That’s what Pelosi wants. In the $ she’s offering doesn’t even call for more border agents. How else are you gonna stop 12,000 from walking across illegally ? She doesn’t want them stopped. Manufactured crisis really ?

ThatTexas city if full of liberals.Ask someone else about how they feel,ask the Permian Basin.They suffer entrance of illegal drugs coming into Texas because of the oil field&plenty of money for a market.TX has a serious health issue because of illnesses disease coming with them.

theRogueReview A wall for me, but not for thee...

Always Propaganda

Many in Texas? U mean liberal/communists the ones who are trying to turn the state blue and fill it with criminals and/or illegals.

Hummm maybe it was the Jehovah Witnesses you effing geniuses.

AP puts out leftist propaganda from behind tightly sealed border walls and locked doors. Proves AP is the Enemy of the people

'Many.' 'News.'

On walls not being the answer.. Such a lame assertion when there are so many questions..

In some places it isn't needed but there is places it is needed.

The psychopaths believe their own lies are truth - when does the United States do the same with Trump as they did with Nixon!

They need to tear down that wall as an experiment and see what happens. Then we'll know if walls work.

More people want the wall.

All of the remaining illegal aliens no doubt

Many more say it is

They don’t need a wall? And they’re proud now because they’re down to only 25,000 illegal crossings. Crazy.

AP is now officially Fake News.

Build the wall. I am all over Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona areas and all I hear is how everyone wants the border wall built.

Hey AP let the experts do their job and protect the country 🇺🇸

If you seek diligently you’ll even find those who believe in socialism

You found a small group. The majority desperately want one!

Bet they would think differently if the wall was on the other side of their town. Also...many of the residents there likely came from the Mexico side of the wall🤔

Then what r the answers? Everyone hates the wall but they offer no ideas to prevent illegal entry into the country

Hahahahahaha “many ?” Hahahahahahaha we all know the l!btrd dry fake ass media is LYIN AGAIN!!!!!! WALLS WORK!!!! Do you have WALLS IN YOUR OWN HOUSE ? DO YOU LOCK YOUR DOORS AT NIGHT ? anybody believing walls don’t work are. Brainwashed!!!

How many is many? buildthewall

Many more say walls are necessary...

Is this an opinion piece?

Exactly

And once again, AP presents a one sided story, ignoring those who want the wall.

Trump's 5.7 billion dollar deal with wall contractors includes kickbacks and insider trading schemes galore so he feels pressure to do the deal or else. It is part of his retirement plan.

TO BAD EL PASO!!

And the mayor of ElPaso says they used a fence and it’s fine

pinche mentiroso

This is such a daft headline,I can't believe anyone with a functioning brain would run with it. Just across the border on the other side in Mexico,they have one of the highest murder rates in the world. If they are so sure it's got nothing to do with the wall,remove it, let's see

Oh yes, in realDonaldTrump ‘s fraudulent world of cons, any dots can be connected as the dumb cheetoh wants. And as long as faux “news” foxnewsalert reports those same incorrect and misleading connections, it becomes truth to the deplorable 40%.

The wall is only a part of it. We also need security, cameras, etc. This isn’t rocket science.

As typical with Trump, he states another lie. When he speaks the default should be that Trump is lying. Simple.

Sure, put a lot of cameras, fly dozens of drones, put sensors until they run out of them, now that, will definitely stop any illegal entry, completely. So I would like to know who are those “many” and how many are they. Build the freaking wall !!! Or call it a fence, whatever

Only interviewed Demoncrats

Get him down to the Alamo with his musket & single-shot black powder pistol if potus is that keen on keeping the Mexicans out.

Stop letting your high school interns use Twitter. These stories are just plain dumb.

BUILD THE DAMN WALL!!!!

dianaaitchison So what's new?

'Many' you guys are a joke

Many? How many? 3?

Sure there not because a lot of locals work for cartels. Ask the locals a long the border without a wall about the cartel having gun fights with federally and running to the USA with cartels chasing them to local hospitals. Build the wall.

Many in Texas? Save the bs AP 🙄 enemyofthepeople fakenews propaganda

Even the undocumented support the wall, wages are wages

There are 'many ' and 'many more '. Fake news spot the light on one side

Build that big beautiful wall.

Yes, it does

A trillion dollar tax cut for big corporations. You surely could get 5 billion out of that Donnie. I mean that's the least your big business friends could do for you since you gave them the biggest welfare check of all time

Typical dem response.

Where is the 'many'.

Not only do many in Texas say that, but in 2008, BEFORE THE WALL WAS BUILT, El Paso was already one of the safest cities of its size in the US. Per usual, realDonaldTrump LIED

I drive through El Paso every time I drive from Dallas to California, I make sure I don't stop.

Silly border patrol said it will.

Ofcourse it is the answer! No one answers behind closed doors for wrong questions!

AP again proving itself a tool of the left.

The shyster real estate developer makes a campaign promise at one of his cult rallies and now conservatives want US taxpayers are to pay for it or have their government shut down? Promises Made, Promises Kept indeed.

Yeah true but many think the earth is flat too. The “many” argument is always fun.

They call the El Paso / Ciudad Juarez area 'Amexica' for a reason. The wall, the bridge, mean virtually nothing to the mixed community. And that's a good thing.

No one cares, build the wall and move on. The worst that can happen is the wall just stands there.

. He doesn't care. He's pandering to his FIRB voters. .

But “many” in the city? Is that like an undisclosed anonymous source?

'I mean... yeah... it works... but... we don't need it.' - Some slack jaw Liberal

Well, they have ALWAYS WORKED.

Walls work for the Vatican

Well just to add a different opinion. I am from Texas and I have rarely come across people who dont support the wall. It really seems like most of the anti wall people are from non border states. What do they care about the southwest?

'Many in Texas'

Walls for me, but not for thee!

'Many'

So ALL locals don't want a wall AP? Were there no 'locals' who want a wall to interview, or did you just ignore them? Who fact checks you?

Well that’s what you get when people bend a news story to suit their agenda.

Hahahaha ohhhhhkayyyy 'Dude, it works but...dont do it anyways.'

Then the residents of El Paso would be ok with tearing down the existing wall? No additional crime or overload of the DHS systems, right? No wall=El Paso an even better place to live, right?

'But many* LIBERALS in the Texas city say their experience doesn't mean that walls are the answer.' 👌 * says our secret source, lol

Easier to open fire on illegal crossings , they would stop then

Whoa is the Activist Press going after Trump again - another day shocked. Fakenews

Fake News. The Wall has saved many lives.
