(Adam speaking Spanish) (亞當說的是西班牙文) (Adam grunting) (亞當發出悶哼聲) (women gasping) (女人們倒抽一口氣) Building a wall would actually increase the number of illegal immigrants in America. 建築長城其實會增加美國非法移民的數量。 What? How could it possibly? 什麼?這怎麼可能? Here, I'll show you. 來,我展示給你看。 Just building a wall would be practically impossible. 造長城是不可能實現的。 This is where it would be. 這將會是它的樣子。 (dog squeals) (小狗尖叫) It would have to stretch over 2,000 miles of rough terrain... 長城將得在險峻地形上延伸超過2000英哩。 cutting through mountains, rivers, villages and even people's homes. And all that destruction is monstrously expensive. Just building the wall would cost between $15 and $25 billion. (woman gasps) It would easily be one of the single most expensive pieces of infrastructure in American history costing as much as 20 Hoover Dams or NASA's entire annual budget. (man) That's one small step for man, one giant wall for no reason. Not to mention the astronomical cost of staffing and maintaining the wall, which taxpayers like you and your children will be stuck paying forever. I paid for the wall. My father's father paid for the wall. And one day you will pay for the wall. Because this is Wall World. Even just faking the wall for our show was prohibitively expensive. Looks like our CGI budget ran out. Okay, yes, it may be expensive but that doesn't change the fact that once we build it, it will work. Not like you think. Increasing security at the border will never stop illegal immigration. Why not? No one's getting passed me. Yes, they are because it's estimated that between 27% and 40% of all undocumented immigrants in America came here on planes. (plane passing) I forgot about planes. These immigrants didn't sneak over the border. They came here legally through passport control, then just overstayed their visas. And guess what? A border wall's not gonna stop 'em because, reminder... You fools! You forgot about planes! We always forget about planes! Even by your estimate of visa overstays, the wall would still stop about half of America's 11 million illegal immigrants. No, it wouldn't. 'Cause of a little something called circular flow. Here, I'll show you. (dog yelps) For decades, immigration to the U.S. was a circular flow. People would come, work for a bit and then after they were done, go home to their families. Meet Douglas Massey. Thanks, Adam. My arms were getting pretty tired waiting for my cue. He's a professor at Princeton and a pioneering researcher on this topic. When the Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations drastically increased border enforcement in response to public opinion, they stopped that circular flow. Not by keeping people out, but by keeping people in. (Douglas) As it got harder and harder to go back and forth, people crossing the border decided they were much better off just staying in the U.S. If I go back to Mexico now, he won't let me back in the U.S. I guess I'll just stay here... in Tucson. Ironically, this increase in border enforcement caused the number of undocumented immigrants living in the United States to skyrocket by 248%. It's counterintuitive, but building a wall wouldn't stop people from coming in. It would actually stop them from going back. In fact, the whole idea of building a border wall is misguided. The Mexican economy is doing quite well right now and population growth has slowed way down. So, there's not much pressure to emigrate. The number of illegal border crossings is actually at an all-time low. If you're a professor, then why are you in the desert? I'm not, I'm a mirage. (gasping) Hey! Look, we already have what has to be the most militarized border between any two nations at peace. So, the real issue of immigration isn't the people coming in. The fact is, they're already here. Nearly one out of every 30 people in America is an unauthorized immigrant. Hm, the only thing a wall stops is a discussion of actual solutions. (man speaking Spanish on TV) Oh, my God, Adam, you're right. The wall isn't the answer. Oh, good, I'm so glad I could help. Millions of people are already here. We need to deport them. Yes! Deportation is the answer. No... (gasping) Alfonso!
