Donald Trump Is Vowing To Build A Massive, Impenetrable

    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

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 would be a very expensive project for the government to pursue. Originally, during Trump’s

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.

The wall shall not be built because immigrants play an important role in the economy. Nearly five-million jobs depend on immigrants to help the economy. In a recent December 9, 2016 article Theatlantic.com states,”Researchers came up with this 4.9 million figure by calculating three economic shifts that would likely occur if trade with Mexico ended: the number of American jobs that are involved in producing exports to Mexico, which would be lost; the number of jobs that would return to the United States to produce the previously imported goods; and the number of jobs that would disappear if the money American consumers and companies saved from buying lower-cost imports were gone.” This excerpt shows how important immigrants are to American jobs, and why there should not be a border or restriction

The illegal immigration issue and the security of the U.S. Economy have been two hot topics all over the news during the 2016 election champion. One main solution that now president Trump provided during his champion was building the wall along the side of the US southern border. Although many who voted for that he mostly agree to the idea, many others thought that was bad for the Economy, Globalization, and most importantly the U.S. Economy.

“President Trump has cited a ten to twelve billion dollar estimate that was given to him during the campaign by the National Precast Concrete Association.” “That comes to about $7.4 million per mile.” (The Great Wall of Mexico - Homeland Security - http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/systems/mexico-wall.htm) This price would be almost double the cost of the existing wall. “Republican leaders in Congress have pegged it’s cost 20 percent higher than that.” “An internal Homeland Security report forecast the total cost could be as much as $21.6 billion.” (The Great Wall of Mexico - Homeland Security - http://www.globalsecurity.org/security/systems/mexico-wall.htm). An estimate of 21.6 bills of would average out to over ten million dollars-per-mile, if they were able to build the border wall the entire 1954

“The wall”: a hot topic among today's population. To build a wall or to not build a wall is the debate. The idea of building a border wall between the United States and Mexico was publicized by the 45th President of the United States, Donald Trump. President Trump’s goal is to keep out the flood of undocumented immigrants flowing across our border every day. "For those here illegally today who are seeking legal status, they will have one route and one route only. To return home and apply for re-entry like everybody else under the rules of the new legal immigration system that I have outlined today," (Bradner) said Mr. Trump. The wall is a viable solution to a crucial problem.

Over the years, there have been numerous discussions about how the United States should prevent the immense number of unauthorized immigrants from arriving into the country, specifically those from Central and South America. The U.S.-Mexican border already has a partial fence running along parts of the border, but people are still getting in and many citizens are fed up that nobody is trying to discontinue this development. Then there’s Donald Trump, who is now the 45th president of the U.S., and his idea of constructing an enormous wall to make sure that the “rapists, drug dealers, and criminals” that are being sent here cannot enter our country. As Trump stated at a 2015 rally regarding the wall, "It's going to be made of hardened concrete, and it's going to be made from rebar, and steel" (Bronstein et al., 2017).

Our President, Mr. Donald Trump has been going on about why the wall should be built ever since he started running for President. Accordingly, Mr. Trump has recently signed an order for the Mexico border wall to be built. Moreover, he has talked greatly about deporting Illegal criminal immigrants from the U.S. to where they originated from. Deporting these Illegal aliens along with building this wall and our border security, we could keep the illegal aliens out of our country. These things could help the U.S. greatly with many worldwide problems.

One major problem America is facing is illegal immigration and Donald Trump is going to fix that. A big part of how Trump is going to fix this issue, is by building a wall to prevent illegals from entering the U.S.. Donald Trump said that his proposed wall across the U.S. - Mexico border would be completed within two years (Trump vows Mexico border wall will be built within two years). One reason why we have this problem is because our laws are not strict enough. For many years, Mexico’s leaders have been taking advantage of the United States by using illegal immigration to export the crime and poverty in their own country. They have even published pamphlets on how to illegally immigrate to the United States (Immigration Reform That Will Make America Great Again). In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he will have a 3-pronged attack focusing on securing America’s borders, increasing enforcement of immigration laws, and putting the needs of U.S. citizens first (Trump shares ideas for ‘real immigration reform’).

wall is expensive and impractical, because of the terrain the wall will have to cut through. In effect, critics tend to dismiss Trump’s chief policy proposal as ridiculous. Engineers have never shied away from projects that seem impossible, but “walling off Mexico” is something worse: It’s impractical. This is the hole in the wall. Though challengers would say, "It's obviously not just a fence. It is far more than that, symbolically as well, an effective deterrent. Most people think against illegal immigration and those that would cross the border with an intent to harm us, but whatever it is, it would be the principal mainstay against illegal immigration and unlawful entry into this country, whether by terrorists or illegal immigrants." This may be true, but driving across the border is not the only way illegal immigrants get to the United States. There are also drug tunnels linking the U.S. and Mexico. Several terrorists or illegal immigrants have arrived here by plane and some were actually legal entry. Other than this idea of a wall being expensive and impractical, it is also not an economically intelligent

VI. While increased security is needed along the border to better protect our nation from outside threats and for the greater good of both the U.S. and Mexico, Trump’s wall is not the answer.

To quote the Washington Times “Specifics aren't really Donald Trump's thing,” but thanks to the guys and girls at the Washington Post, we know a few things about this wall that the Affirmative wants President Trump to build. After much campaigning, public speaking, and tweeting Donald Trump seems to have decided that the “Great Wall of Trump” is going to be 65 feet tall, made of concrete, and have a “big, beautiful door.” Donald Trump is six foot two inches tall. This means it would take about eleven Donald Trumps stacked on top of each other to go the full height of the wall. And that’s for one coulomb of Trumps. Shoulder to Shoulder he is about 3 feet wide, not a small man President Trump. A mile is 5,280 feet. This means it would take 2,207,040 coulombs of Trump to cover the entire length of wall. This Brings us to a Grand Total of 24,277,440 Donald Trumps to cover the entire remaining area of unfenced border. Why do I tell you this? To give you a relative idea of just how big a wall President Donald J Trump, and the Affirmative, suggest America build. I give you this frame of reference to then pose you this question: Just how do they, the Affirmative, plan to pay for
