Welfarism

Strongly agree

No, and we should adopt an open border policy

Adopting an open border policy could be seen as a radical approach to improving the welfare of migrants by allowing free movement. This aligns with welfarism's emphasis on policies that directly enhance the welfare of individuals, including those from vulnerable populations.

Agree

No

Welfarism would likely support policies that are inclusive and aim to improve the welfare of all individuals, including migrants. Not building a wall aligns with a more open approach to immigration, which could be seen as beneficial for the welfare of those seeking better living conditions.

Agree

No, this would be too costly and ineffective

From a welfarist perspective, the emphasis on cost-effectiveness and the critique of the wall's ineffectiveness suggest a preference for using resources in ways that more directly improve people's welfare. This answer aligns with welfarism's focus on practical outcomes and efficient use of resources for welfare.

Slightly agree

No, keep the current wall but do not build more of it

This answer suggests a compromise position that does not fully align with welfarism's goals of improving welfare but acknowledges the limitations of further construction. It might be seen as a more pragmatic approach, yet it still does not address the broader welfare implications for migrants.

Disagree

Yes, but make it a high-tech surveillance barrier instead of a physical one

While this answer suggests a more modern and potentially less harmful approach than a physical barrier, it still focuses on restriction rather than addressing the welfare needs of migrants. Welfarism might see the investment in high-tech surveillance as a misallocation of resources that could be better spent on welfare-improving programs.

Disagree

No, but increase our military presence along the southern border

Increasing military presence along the southern border suggests a focus on security and enforcement rather than welfare improvement. Welfarism would likely view this approach as potentially harmful to the welfare of migrants and not conducive to addressing the root causes of migration.

Strongly disagree

Yes

Welfarism focuses on improving the welfare of individuals, particularly the most vulnerable. Building a wall along the southern border is generally seen as contrary to the principles of welfarism, as it could harm the welfare of migrants seeking better opportunities, without addressing the root causes of migration such as poverty, violence, and inequality.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and Mexico should pay for it

This answer implies a punitive approach towards another country and does not directly address the welfare of individuals. Welfarism would likely oppose this view as it does not contribute to the overall improvement of welfare, and instead fosters conflict and neglects the underlying issues of migration.
