Border Wall Arguments

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.

"A little prodigy," able to learn and speak a second language at a remarkable speed, a known artist throughout her community, a girl with great friends and a loyal boyfriend, a receiver of numerous academic awards, an eventual Ivy-League student, an illegal immigrant. Now which of these should ring most important in a person 's mind? Should the impressive and achieving student be looked down upon because of how she entered the United States? The idea that every illegal alien that enters America is carrying a weapon or is out to kill must be abolished. Most entering the United States are primarily seeking improved conditions for themselves and their families. This is why a border wall should not be constructed. The construction of a border wall or fence would be unconstitutional, prejudiced and would only provide harm for the nations environment and economy and create vast inequality and injustice for all.

I am very familiar with the ethics of border security, having grown up in El Paso, Texas. The city sits right next to Juarez, Mexico with a population of over 2 million. As stated in the Debate.org article, “Border Fence”, El Paso, San Diego, and McAllen are the epicenter for cartel violence, hub for drug trafficking, and illegal immigration. There is a border fence that stretches over 30 miles in and around the El Paso area, with a border patrol agent stationed every 300 yards over the same span. With a population of close to 800,000 with over 80% of that being Hispanic, it is a very controversial subject along the border region. (Debate.org Article)

Most of the immigrants leave their home country and migrate to the United States because they can live in freedom, practice their religion and make the most out of their life (Arizaga 2006).

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

This topic has been relevant in our society since donald trump has been elected into office. Donald trump wants to build a wall along the mexican border to keep immigrants out of our country. Donald trump claims that “ When mexico sends its people, that they’re sending people that have lots of problems.” He also says” mexico is ripping off the US more than almost any other nation.” This topic has been widely talked about in our world today. Many americans and people that I know are happy that Donald trump is going to build this wall. They see, to be against mexicans coming to america, and have a hateful view on anyone who is non-white coming to our country to start a better life for themselves. And I myself don't know very much about immigrant and politics, But to me, I think that immigrants should be allowed to come and live in our country, I mean isn't that what america is? We are all immigrants to this country so how can we be mean and turn our backs on others who need help, when we did the same thing in our past. We came to america to escape bad living conditions, and the bad government systems of our original homeland countries, we came to america to become free. And if we turn our backs on others who need help to become free then our country is becoming like the ones before us

Is there a problem in the U.S with illegal immigrants from the southwest border. The answer is yes and the only way to stop it is to build a border wall. There is nothing out there to stop the immigrants from walking over. “There are more illegal immigrants come to the U.S from the Mexico border than any other border” (Lee). There needs to be a wall or a finc to stop people coming here illegal.

Whether or not the United States should build a wall to secure the border around Mexico is a controversial topic. The controversy is mainly over the cost and true purpose of the wall. Many people wonder if there is a need for the wall to be built, while others are pushing for the massive wall to be built. Many do not believe the wall would stop the immigrants from illegally crossing at all. “Human migration routes are like rivers: If they hit an obstacle, the flow finds a way around it” (Chappell). Although the idea of building a wall is controversial, many would agree that the idea is expensive, a waste of time, and ridiculous.

People like Donald Trump want this wall built so that the illegal immigrants stop coming the US and the war on drugs coming in from Mexico is handled. The reasons this need to happen is because of the mixture of foreign workers that hold down the American’s salaries by taking other

"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great great wall on our southern border and I’ll have Mexico pay for that wall" ~ Donald J. Trump. Many remember Trump’s campaign promise of building a wall on the US-Mexico border, but what Mr. Trump neglected to notice was the many aspects that come into play when making such a dramatic decision. The idea behind the wall is to keep out illegal immigrants and cut down the amount of crime in the United States. It is easy to see why President Trump thinks the wall will benefit the country. Most of the drugs that come into the US are from Mexico, and the towns surrounding the border are some of the most crime-ridden in both the United States and Mexico. However, the wall impacts more than just the lives of

What i think about people building the border wall for the immigrants is that they should give another chance for taking other people's jobs and also they don't need to be kicked back to their counties with nothing because they become another isis and their would be more police getting killed and also that more riots.”Supporters of SB4 doubt that it will nudge many Latinos to vote Democratic. The experience of California, where the Hispanic vote swung firmly Democratic around 1994, suggests they may be wrong (see chart). Texas is a Republican state in part because the local party has won more support from Latino voters there than elsewhere. Those voters, however, have supported Republicans who supported them. If the party has changed, they

One important reason that a border wall between the U.S and Mexico can’t protect American jobs and reduce crime is that the border wall is too expensive and impractical because according to UpFront Magazine, Patricia Smith, 4-3-17. “Congress will fund the project, which will cost more than 21 billion of dollars and it will take until the end of 2020 to complete.” It will take 4 years for the wall to be complete and by the end of 2020 President Trump may not be the president of

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.

I think the tone of the book is smart and angry. I think it is smart because of the things he says he would do if he is the next president, and I think it is angry because of the front cover, and because he is fed up with the way the government does things in the present day. The first chapter is about how America can win again and be the role model nation it once was. Chapter two is titled Our “Unbiased” Political Media in this chapter he talks about how the media treats him unfairly and how they attack him for not being politically correct. The next chapter chapter three is called Immigration: Good Walls Make Good Neighbors in this chapter he talks about his idea to build a 1,000 mile wall and make Mexico pay for it, he said that he will

In the past few years, there has been a recent push for a border wall to protect the United States from the increase in immigration and drug trafficking. Although the border wall aids in reducing problems in our country, it is affecting the economy of the country and the health of our environment, therefore the border wall is not the best solution.
