The wall that Trump wants to build is a terrible idea, just like most walls are not a good idea.
Anyone who supports Trumps idea to build a wall between the United States and Mexico obviously knows nothing about history. Building the wall perpetuates the idea of those who refuse to learn about history are bound to repeat it.” The Berlin wall only stood for thirty years, separated families, and kept people away from job opportunities,” according to U.S, History channel. When they took the Berlin wall down it was crumbling and full of graffiti. It was so much of a mistake that everyone celebrated with Hasselhoff when they finally took it down. If the United States builds this wall between the U.S. and Mexico it will lead the same demise. The current border aka fence that we have now is falling apart, and divides entire parts of people’s property. I can guarantee that the wall is going to fall subject to tagging, either by myself or other Trump opposers just like the Berlin wall. Walls are meant for division and I’ve always believed America to be place of diversity.

The Great Wall was meant to keep away Mongols a very long time ago, but now it is just a tourist attraction. The difference between the Great Wall and ours is that China’s wall is beautiful; it took many years to build the wall and many lives to make it as grand as it is. Our wall is going to be the complete opposite. Mexico is not going to pay for our wall and neither are the taxes payers. According to CNN, Trump has stated that he was going to make the wall forty feet high and one thousand miles long and is going to be expensive. Still not knowing who is paying for the wall, my guess is that it will be executed in a cheap fashion. Because of the cheap fashion in which the wall is going to be made it will not be anywhere near as extraordinary as the Great Wall of
Last year when Donald Trump became President of the United States he wanted to build a wall that would seperate the U.S. from Mexico. He wanted to do this to stop any illegal drugs, terrorists, or weapons from crossing the border. Athough it was a good idea, many people were
All through America's history it always had a presidential election every four years, and last years presidential election campaign there were two leading candidates, so to ensure their victory, they both made promises significant changes, creation. All through last year's campaign, a candidate named Donald J. Trump made several promises, and one of his promises could change the way of life in American. Mr.Trump won last years presidential election, and all eyes were on him to the promise vowed to do if and when he is president. That one promise which is opposed by six in ten Americans is that President Trump promised a 'big, beautiful wall' that would be placed on the Mexican and American border. President Trump Proposed that he could construct the wall for 8 billion, but now it is known that wall will cost about $21.6 billion for the wall and that the $21.6 plan doesn't include the $150 million a year to maintain. America shouldn’t Build a Wall along the US/Mexico Border because of the high cost and how it will affect America's economy, also thought the wall would keep out undocumented immigrant from crossing the US border but it is shown that undocumented immigrants contribute over $11 billion to the US economy each year, and lastly the environment that is near the border, and how it will be affected and disturbed due to the construction the border wall.
But, how? The wall is just blocking on part or our country and that country being blocked could come up with other methods to act and find way to bypass the wall. Trump is a person who has many goals, but doesn't think through them He doesn't see the full effect of his ideas and how others would be effected. The wall would be useless and just cause more and more chaos. According to David Martin, a professor at Grinnell College, he wrote a article and said “This strategy is politically appealing for its simplicity, but it misunderstands the problems of globalization and migration it aims to address. Building walls has rarely has achieved its intended effect, and may result in wasted resources and lost opportunities for the United States.” Many walls have Ben built throughout the world and many of the walls seem useless. The wall that would be built by trump is t necessary, it's just a waste of resources. He also wrote “In U.S. history, building paper and concrete walls resulted in episodes that today are widely viewed by historians as inconsistent with our better democratic angels.” The U.S. building a wall won't help our economy won't help our country. In our past, the U.S. and other nations have tries this and they failed, so I can we say we will succeed. Donald Trump doesn't think thoroughly he plans and only acts on based upon what he sees, which will eventually lead to a decrease in our U.S.
Due to the Berlin wall families were divided, and no physical connection was able to be made from each side. Jobs from the East and West side of Berlin were cut off. The reason given to the East Berliners for putting the wall up was too, put off aggression from the West, even though the wall pointed inward to East German territory. During the wall's 30 year history, unstable and varying reports claim that either 192 or 239 people were killed trying to cross the wall. Interestingly enough, through the wall's 30 year history there were roughly 5000 successful escapes into West Berlin.
I understand the advantages a wall gives, because a lot of immigrants come through, but it’s not a practical wall. If eleven-million already get in with this “barrier”, do we really even need it if we have protection? The U.S. have spent nearly eighteen billion dollars on immigration problems, and are planning to add another five billion in the next five years (ProPublica, xx). If the first eighteen didn’t get us much, why should we invest in another five billion? The money should go to better things, like helping poor cities, and even helping past traumatic events. Look at New Orleans, which is still very much affected by Hurricane Katrina. They most definitely could use help. Reasonably, there just isn't a good solution to fix this border, because we do not need
The border wall is an uncertain investment to many considering the price tag it holds, but if it is to limit illegal immigration and over time stop the trickle of illegals coming into America the payout would be well worth it. Anyone has the right to disagree with the current president and his policies, but it is rather difficult to deny to growing statistics that prove how illegal immigration is negatively affecting the U.S. America is in deep trouble right now with the great political divide that separates this country and everyone needs to come together and focus on one common goal which is persevering the greatness of the
Many say that the border wall is a bad idea, but others say it has some benefits. President Trump said in his campaign that he wanted “a great, great wall.” This was to ensure that anyone with no papers doesn’t take the jobs that “Americans” need. Since there are 2 sides of this problem they should both be addressed.
In the article “Trump outlines immigration specifics,” Jeremy Diamond and Sara Murray analyze Republican candidate Donald Trump’s latest immigration policy proposal and demonstrate how his unrealistic plan could cause more harm than good. For many years now, the topic of immigration has always been a problematic one and with reason. One side argues that immigrants are taking American jobs, while the other side maintains that immigrants are actually helping the US economy. While both sides rarely see eye to eye on multiple issues, one thing that they can both agree on is that the current US immigration system is, indeed, broken. Because of this issue, Trump has proposed an immigration plan that would require the US to build a wall along the
Mexican citizens won't be able to cross the border with the wall up, right? Sure, it is true that people won't be able to run across the border, but not even half of the illegal immigrants in the US get in that way. Most illegal Mexican immigrants get into the US legally, and overstay their VISAs. Not only will the wall fail to keep illegal immigrants out, it will only make the situation worse. Building the wall will monopolize border crossing for the cartel. Any good businessman knows that as soon as something is illegal or prohibited, the price goes up for underground businesses. The Mexican Cartel will be able to make more profit and therefore grow if we build this
The United States should not build a wall on the Mexico border because of all the bad effects It could have on the U.S. after it’s built. One of the main effects of the wall would be on the economy, the trade with Mexico would be crushed by the wall, jobs would be loss too. Another effect if the wall was made is the social effect on the communities of the people around the wall. One last effect of the wall being built is the political task of .
Did you know that it will cost billions to finish the border wall between U.S and Mexico? Do you know where is Trump is going to get billions from ? Tax payers. Congress has no idea where to get the money to fund the building of the border wall between the U.S and Mexico. The fence will not stop immigrants from coming into the country at all, there are ways that people from Mexico can enter the U.S legally. The border wall is too expensive and impractical for us to continue building to complete it, it’s going to take 4 years for the border wall to completely finish covering the remaining 1,250 miles. A border wall won’t solve any terrorist problem that we as a country have. We shouldn’t continuing the building of the U.S- Mexico border because it just a waste of time and money because it will take 4 years for the border wall to be completely finish the border and maybe after the wall is finish, May not Trump won’t be president The border wall won’t help the crime rate go down in the U.S.
In previous years, many countries and territories around the world have attempted to build walls, and many have had very much success. For example, Most of the walls built after World War 2 and the Cold War still exist today. There were a total of 110 walls built between that time period. Professor Nazli Avdan led a study that had a goal of identifying if a border wall reduced or increased the risk of a transnational terrorist attack. This study found that since the year 1900, transnational terrorist attacks have seen a thirteen percent annual decrease in countries with border walls (Border fences reduce...attacks). This has been a real focal point that President Donald Trump has used to get people to agree with him. Another reason of his includes the disrupting of the funneling of illicit money and drugs into the United States of America (Border fences reduce...attacks). The bonus of the building of the wall is that it will be a visible sign of the government taking action.
He says this wall will cost in total of eight million dollars, and that Mexico will pay for it. The wall will span one thousand miles and be made of concrete slabs that will go up to forty feet high. Trump says this wall will look good, and be what a wall should really look like (Kessler). The wall that we already have on the border costed 2.4 billion, and only covers about one third of the border which is only about 670 miles (Kessler). So Trump wants to build a better wall, which has no grantee that it will work.
According to our current President, Donald Trump, and millions of supporters building a wall is just what we need for us to keep our country safe. On the other hand, it is controversial to others who think that this will cause more damage to our country and the relationships we have than it wall do us good. The New York Times just released an article, “Eight Ways to Build a Border Wall”, about the 8 new wall prototypes that were put up in October and could possibly be used along the border of the US and Mexico. It is explaining the pros and cons that border pratol has made about each wall. Building this wall will be a major part in our U.S history no matter if it is successful on its purpose or not it will indeed change the relationship between the U.S and Mexico.
President Trump’s notorious slogan “Build The Wall” seems have been coming out of his mouth every single day since the election. Many people complain about the increase in illegal immigrants coming into the United States and Trump believes a wall will solve the issue instantly. This idiotic wall he talks about will be built alongside the border of The United States and Mexico but it gets even better… he wants Mexico to pay for it, how neighborly of him! This method attempting to keep illegal immigrants has been supported by many people in the United States since Trump brought it up in his early conventions. Why do these people support this delusional method? Is a wall seriously the last resort? The concept of the wall will only prevent immigrants
