President Donald Trump has pushed for the construction of a wall on the Mexican border throughout his whole Presidential campaign. Many people have very drastic views on this initiative, as it it can be argued whether it can be justified. Trump’s reasoning for building this wall would be to keep out “undesirables” from Mexico, which is unacceptable. There are many factors to consider when debating whether Trump’s initiative is valid such as, its effect on the economy and the ethical implications. Constructing a wall will cost taxpayers lots of money. It would go toward employing people and purchasing the materials required. Employing a lot of people will definitely help the economy, however, this will only last for a short amount of time. After the wall is completed the people that worked on it will need to seek out new jobs. In addition to this we will need to spend money to maintain the wall which is more un-needed expense. The wall may help prevent more …show more content…
This is a logical assertion, the United states has systems in place for people entering the country, which is well within reason. These systems are designed to prevent people with health problems (diseases) and people who engage in illegal business from entering. However, this system makes it very difficult to immigrate and forces people to immigrate illegally as a result. These people entering illegally aren’t technically justified but, a large portion of people entering illegally are productive members of society and seeking better lives. The quality of life in the United States is much higher in comparison to Mexico, there’s lots of crime and corruption within the country so it’s understandable as to why people would enter illegally. Building the is a sign of xenophobia; we as a society should welcome immigrants because our country is comprised of
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 “Our Wall”, the author, Charles Bowden gives a detailed account of the conflict associated with the wall along the United States-Mexico border. The author makes his points through interviews with many different people along both sides of the border along with historical events and facts. Bowden is a very credible source, with years of experience working in the area and creates a very thorough account of the issue. The author seems to take a stance against the wall, but he does point out the other side of the argument and things that could be good about it. I wish the author would have made his viewpoints more clear because they are a little bit hard to pick up on. Another item I think was missing from the
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.
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.
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.
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.
From the start of Donald Trump 's campaign, way before he descended from his escalator in his Trump building, to give his announcement speech. Donald trump promised that he was going to build a wall along the vast U.S border. Now that he has been elected, he is pursuing his promise at building a wall with his recent executive order that calls for major change along the border. Donald Trump wants to build a wall in hopes to reduce the amount of immigration and drugs coming into our country. Most of what donald trump says is absurdly out of proportion, but does he have a case to build a massive wall? Every year millions of people come to our country in search of money and free handouts from the government, most by any nations. As well was
Did you know that there are estimates that the wall that President Trump is trying to build along the U.S.’s southern border could cost about 21 billion dollars to build? Building a physical wall along the southern border of the U.S. would be a huge mistake. A wall along the border of Mexico and the U.S. would be a mistake because it would be a waste of time, money and effort. Building a wall along the entire border is extremely unnecessary as well considering that more Mexican immigrants are leaving the U.S. and returning home that coming into the U.S. Also building a wall is unfair and it wouldn’t even solve the problems it claims to solve, like stopping Mexican immigrants from entering the country illegally. Instead of solving problems this wall would create more problems one of them being that it would also harm the environment.
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
America runs on the belief that everyone should have a chance to live and experience the American dream. However, politics sometimes muddies the water a bit and hinders any chance of this happening for immigrants. Immigration control is a major concern and sometimes sheds a bad light on the people who cross into America this way. Some American people believe the best way to keep potential threats out the country is to build a wall, and that all their problems would stop there. What people don’t realize are the implications of this wall and everything that it be affecting as collateral damage. America is in economic turmoil as it is, a wall would just tip the scale into massive debt. At the source of all this is the human tendency to protect what is theirs, America is marking its territory but is
Immigration Wall, An American Breakthrough or a Waste? Some people believe in walls keeping people out, but others don’t believe it will do anything. Donald Trump one of the candidates running for president said, “I will 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 will make Mexico pay for that wall.
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.
The short story “The Fall of the House of Usher” by Edgar Allan Poe is about how a nameless narrator gets invited to come see his childhood friend. Because his childhood friend named Roderick Usher, is feeling emotionally and physically unwell, the narrator rushes to be with his friend. During the narrator’s stay at the house many strange things like noises and death begin to happen. Towards the end of the story the narrator begins to hallucinate being under the power of Roderick Usher and the house.
I have always been referred to as the “artistic kid” growing up. I would draw a lot, create amazing sculptures out of Lego’s, and was naturally inclined with technology and software. I became more interested in trying different mediums as I grew older and more aware of what is available. I’ve worked with oil paint, acrylics, charcoal, pencil, spray paint, and digital work in Adobe. I have been fortunate that my guardians have tried to support the artist in me throughout the years.
