The majority say a wall shouldn't be a top priority.
It if is such a tiny portion then cutting something to pay for it should be easy right?
Take some of that 1.5T corporate tax cut gift and pay for it that way.

You take a poll to see what people want here, and why is stopping the wall a top priority?

So I'm bad because you're too lazy to support your own argument?

The wall is the top of issues, not the bottom.

Only 28% of those polled answered that the border wall should be an immediate priority, while 19% replied it shouldn’t be an immediate priority, and 50% said it shouldn’t be a priority at all.

In other words support for the wall is around 48% and no comparison to other issues is given. You have not only failed to support your opinion, you refuted it. But at least you left the bias of that article out and gave the facts from the poll.

" More than two-thirds of Americans don’t think the wall should be a priority, according to a new poll by NPR, PBS News Hour and Marist."

support for a wall is only 48%(your words) yet you also claim the wall is the top of issues.
it isn't the top of issue. talk about failing to support your opinion. WOW

from your link:
"Among those who said they wanted Congress to focus on border security, 65 percent said they want the Republican-led chambers to include a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border in their legislation while 35 percent said they wanted a focus on border security but without a wall."

That does not mean 65% support a wall.

You claimed the majority thought the wall should be a top priority.
I posted data to the contrary and now all you say is "so"
Ok well played. NOT

No, I looked though the wall separately and it is still a top issue on its own. Your own poll even puts support at 48%. Your claim is as such factually wrong, by your own evidence.

It isn't a top priority for MOST. <49.9999% is MOST

Nice to see you keep using that new goal post rather than what I say or your own starting argument, and the margin of error is close enough that you cannot even say that isn't a top priority for most.

"who cares what the tiny % of people here want?"

Zing. Just admit it isn't what the majority want. It won't solve the problems.

Just admit that you were wrong and didn't know hat you were talking about. The margin of error says you cannot even claim the majority do not want it, yet you still claim what the facts do not support and refuse to address my actual argument replacing it with your majority strawman instead.

No I didn't, you are beating a strawman instead. I said, "The wall is the top of issues, not the bottom." Nice of you to make false claims to refute rather than what I actually said. Though I misspeak as it is among the top issues rather than the peak.

The wall is only a top issue to those that want congress to focus on border security.

That doesn't mean it is a top priority for others. I don't think I can make it any more clear
