Essay on Critque of "Our Wall"

Alex K Rich was a biologist and biophysics. He was the Professor of Biophysics at MIT and Harvard Medical School. Dr. Rich earned both an A.B. and an M.D. from Harvard University. During this time, he was a member of a social and discussion group which attacked the question of how DNA encodes genetics. He had over 600 publications on his name. All this information give us a confidence that he knows what he is talking about. He provides some data to prove the usefulness of the wall. One of his strongest argument was that the amount of money that the government could spend on the tracking devices will be more beneficial if they will spend it on the construction However, he didn’t touch the biggest problem of the wall - environment damages.

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.

The wall that Bowden discusses is the barrier between the United States and the country of Mexico to the south. He uses the terms fences, borders, and barricades. Part of the wall is constructed of metal. Other portions are concrete. Each of the materials that are used is hard and designed to be uncomfortable and discouraging to those who see it, effectively creating both a physical and psychological barrier between acceptable and unacceptable populations. The purpose of the wall, according to Bowden, is to keep a certain population out of the United States. Mexican illegal immigrants are crossing the border into the United States in large numbers. For the American government, illegal immigration is an unacceptable set of circumstances and the purpose of erecting a wall was to keep those people from crossing the border into the United States. Bowden explains that the wall is effective only until the point when inclination and desire of the excluded population overcomes the existence of the wall. People will then cross over it or crash through it. If their will is strong enough, then the people will be able to overcome the wall, making its presence outdated and ineffectual. Since people overcome the wall, there is no need to keep the wall or to provide moneys to either enlarge it or for the upkeep of the wall. Each

One believes that the border is attacked by the ghost. Hundreds of people die each year while running away from border patrol, and violence from smuggling. The immigrants move here and there of borders to find a way to wealth of the America and sometimes find their way to death. It shows the heart rending situation of poverty and people fighting for death to earn. Some immigrants go back when there is problem in their home, and can never come back due to border security. This

In source B, it states "it's not a very nice solution, but a wall is a hell of a better than a war". This is John F Kennedy's perspective on the construction of the wall. This wall created tension all over the world when it had been built. Knowing that instead of

This political cartoon demonstrates one of the reasons why Donald Trump’s wall will not work.There are immigrants classified asylum seekers.They are people who seek “safety” in America but never leave.The definition of an asylum seeker is literally a person who has left their home country as a political refugee and is seeking safety in another.So Trump’s wall is physically useless it only blocks one way for immigrants to get over not stops them entirely.

The wall will help control the number of illegal immigrants coming into the country and ensure they go through the correct legal processes while also ensuring the safety of both American and Mexican citizens. Paul Sperry, a writer for the New York Post, explains, "Before 2010, federal data show the border city was mired in violent crime and drug smuggling, thanks in large part to illicit activities spilling over from the Mexican side. Once the fence went up, however, things changed almost overnight. El Paso since then has consistently topped rankings for cities of 500,000 residents or more with low crime rates, based on FBI-collected statistics" (2). Due to a fence going up on the US-Mexico border, El Paso is looked at as a model town and a prime example of what many of the border towns could turn into with the construction of the wall. However, the border wall is conclusively against Mexicans and based on racist mindsets. Frank Daniel, a writer for Reuters.com, writes, "Shortly after the wall was built, Juarez was plunged into a hellish war between cartels that made it the murder capital of the world, while El Paso remained the safest U.S. city of its size" (2). Though the wall may help one side of the border the other side could, in the end, face unfortunate

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.

The situation, in this instance, pertains to the expanding the barrier across the United States-Mexican border. One of these interviewees was Warner Glenn, a popular resident who appears on many western themed magazines due to his rugged and sophisticated look. Glenn and his foundation enacted a successful plan to repopulate endangered species across the Arizona region of the border. The need for him to perform this arose when the native population of animals started to decline due to interruption in their breeding and migratory patterns as a result of a newly installed piece of barrier wall along the border. However, Glenn worked with the government to basically redo the structure where it would cease to impede historical animal migration routes and succeeded. Clifford, also interviewed a self described Republican rancher, Bill McDonald. McDonald claims to follow the party with all issues ranging from gun rights to government intervention but differs when it comes to the border and how to protect it. Because he lives on land located near the southern border, McDonald helps the Border patrol learn how to take care of the land they patrol. By doing this action he hopes these government employees will obtain the same respect for the land as he has. One of his major concerns with the border

Posted a few years ago as well, the Christian Science monitor expresses his view and opinion on a published note: Border Fence: symptom of a failed policy. He emphasizes his main point in this note being and quote “A fence is a tactic, not a policy. In fact, it's symptomatic of the failure of federal policy to get a grip on illegal immigration.” This fence may be a tactic, but hiring illegal immigrants flouts the law. Illegal immigration is moving all over the country and custom agents like I.C.E, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, tend to shut down day labor sites populated with frequent undocumented workers. Again we see how the fence in

Donald Trump wants to build a wall. Donald Trump wants to build a wall for a few, invalid reasons, and yet he is the frontrunner in the race for Republican presidential nominee. Everyday, more people begin to support the idea of building a border between the United States and Mexico. Supporters offer a few reasons - safety, the economy, legality - but few supporters look deeper than Trump’s explanations. Supporters of a wall are surprisingly ignorant about their own causes, as well as the opposition to their cause. Becoming educated about the topic of a border wall would show the supporters that a border wall would actually be ineffective and unnecessary because the wall would fail to stop over half the illegal immigrants that enter the United States, the concept of a border wall is against what the United States stands for, and the border wall would be a costly venture that

The fact that the wall is still able to be found and that we are learning about the lives of the people in ancient times as well as their abilities to overcome great challenges should inspire those of today to dream big and accept the help of others to meet those challenges. So the wall was both defensive thanks to the military and a project not only for the Roman soldiers, but for the local populations and as they worked together the wall became more than a simple place but a home and a place for everyone to have pride

Thesis Statement: The wall that Trump wants to create will be detrimental to the environment, cost a lot of money & resources, and may not be effective against the immigration problem.

from Mexico “Remittances are a big part of workers’ lives, especially lower-skilled workers and a lot of families in Mexico rely on them. It’s big business; it’s billions of dollars,” said Audrey Singer, a senior fellow at the Brookings Metropolitan Policy Program. In an article written by Kathleen Hennessey for the LA Times “It’s not easily measured and it’s not easily regulated. Enforcing something like that would be nearly impossible.” (August, 17th, 2015). In an article for the Business Insider, Jacob Shamsian wrote “Such mass deportation would take 6.4% of US workers out of the country, according to the AAF report. With them would depart approximately $1.6 trillion in wages, spending, and other economic activity, more than the GDP of Texas. The agricultural industry would be disproportionately affected by the move — half of the US' farm workers in the past 15 years have been undocumented. These estimates don't take into account the approximately $15 billion that undocumented immigrants contribute to Social Security, according to Stephen Goss, chief actuary for the Social Security Administration”.(August 18th, 2015). The wall will run approximately 1900 miles and will cost billions to build. The topography is vast and in places completely unsuitable for building. The sheer logistical requirement is astounding. The technical expertise required, not to mention the amount and cost of labour, transport, raw materials, the building of roads and bridges to allow logistics to reach the various sites and the legal quagmire that such a proposal would generate, is mind boggling. Ali F. Rhuzkhan, a qualified construction engineer wrote in the National

The wall has many reasons not to be there. It seperate families and friends. They also can't start their new families. Basically new families or old families don't get to see nor make new ones. The wall should definitely be tore down!
