Mexican Border Wall Research Paper

For me personally I don’t think the wall should be build. The wall is a waste of money, and time the solution of building a wall across the border is not very smart. The wall will cost millions of dollars to build, and on top of that it would take a couple of years to finish it. Instead of wasting money trying to build a wall that would take a long time to show effectiveness, we could use less money to try a different method it’s that would take less time. The purpose of this article is to inform us, about the wall and how going to help stop immigrants from crossing the border, the way I see it is that building the wall is just something trump is trying to do make it seem like he is finding solutions to the problem we face today.

There are many pros and cons to the wall on the border of the U.S. and Mexico. The main reason why Trump was doing this was to stop illegal drugs from crossing the border into America. He is hoping that it will stop and America would be great again because we won thave that many illegal drugs and that there wouldn´t be that many terrorist attacks going on like the boston marathon or anything worse than that.

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.

The 45th president of the United States of America, Donald J. Trump, is a political man who has many ideas to improve the U.S. One of the many idea he had included building a wall between the borders of the United States and Mexico for the “purpose of controlling immigration into America”. According to Trump this wall is supposed to help our country with its national security. In reality though, many people believe that the wall is showing Trumps true colors. Many people are contemplating on the fact if Trump is a racist person who is building the wall because it provides a method of targeting and preventing those who are trying to cross the Mexican-American Border. In reality, Trump only cares about trying to make “America Great Again”, and

Jeff Corwin stated that “If this border wall actually happens, it will be an environmental catastrophe. Essentially, what it’s doing is cutting through nature’s bridge, which connects Central America to North America and South America.” Which in many cases this can be supported but then again many people work very hard to become a citizen in the United States for many to come across the border to get here illegally and to most this is unfair. To make another main statement given the rising global instability in North Korea and the Middle East with a strong and supportive border it would be harder for terrorist to get their hands on biological, chemical or radiological weapons. With an insecure border it makes it easier for them to bring them into the United States and launch a devastating attack on the United States.

Despite the effort of the immigrants, the wall will make it more difficult for them to cross into the United States. Priscilla Alvarez, an assistant editor for The Atlantic, explains, "For example, the San Diego sector, where the prototypes have been built, [apprehension numbers] dropped from 560,000 in 1992 to 68,000 in 2010. Notably, however, the number of border apprehensions is also on the decline" (4). This proves that the wall will, in fact, stop immigrants from crossing over into the United States. Regardless, immigrants will still find a way into the country. When a double layer fencing was enforced near San Diego, "The apprehensions shifted dramatically away from the areas guarded by western stations at Imperial Beach and Chula Vista,

After, Mexico gained Independence from Spain in 1821, the era following this left Mexico in a poor political, social, and economic condition. Which resulted in a long lasting feeling of resentment towards the United States. As, both countries being in different positions socio-economically the Mexican-American war began in the year of 1846. Throughout the war in Mexico the president was changed about seven times on the other hand, the United States who was in a dynamic period prior to the Civil War was focused mostly on spreading Anglo America. The United States took advantage of Mexico lacking a centralized, strong leader. While gaining the necessary political and symbolic tools from the Monroe Doctrine of 1823 and the Manifest

C.)ii) Building the physical wall between two regions requires workers and materials; the government spends a lot of money building, maintaining and protecting this wall. Many countries can’t afford this; it takes away money from other important government spending programs. Not only do they have to pay for the physical construction of the wall but they also have to pay for border control salaries and people to regulate the gates. For Example, the United States estimated that it 28 billion dollars per year just to finish and seal the Mexican border each

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

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

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.

Will Trump’s wall help the Economy any better? It won’t, and there is a lot of evidence to support my claim. The wall shall not be built because it will negatively impact the United States since immigrants play a big role in the U.S economy. The wall shall not be built because it will cause a lot of controversy, which can produce more crime and hate toward Trump and the wall. The wall should not be built because we get most of our produce from Mexico and other resources, which will negatively impact NAFTA and our economy.

Trump’s wall may have some positive effects in the United States and Mexico. We can stop wasting money on detaining illegal aliens and deporting them. It could also stop the flow of illegal drugs into the United States and guns into Mexico. I know the drug issue because twenty-five percent of the time I walk in the bathroom at school, it is clouded with smoke. Trump’s wall might slow down the rate of negative side effects of illegal immigration and smuggling of drugs.

In 2014, 35 million Americans identified as Hispanic, of whom 64 percent said they had Mexican heritage - almost 11 percent of the total population. As birthrates for Hispanics exceed those of Anglos, demographers estimate that by 2042 non-Hispanic whites will be a numerical minority in the United States. At the beginning of this century, there were twenty-one states where Hispanics were the largest ethnic minority.

Starting in 2006, the United States started to develop the wall along parts of the frontier between U.S. and Mexico. There was 670 miles of the wall authorized to be assembled, and there were many objections to it being built. Besides the oppositions, from 2006 to 2009 there was already more than 100 miles of the wall constructed (Gilman 258). Congress passed the “Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act” in 1996. The act gave power to the government to create walls or barriers along the border, and it allowed it to seize land from people if it is imperative in protecting the borderline of the country (Gilman 259). In 2006, the “Secure Fence Act” was passed that instructed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a fence stretching from 5 different areas of the border. In 2007, there was 70 miles of the wall built in the Arizona and Mexico frontier. Since this occurrence, the government then shifted its surveillance to the border along Texas and Mexico in 2007, and started suggestions to assemble more than 100 miles of the border wall by 2008 (Gilman 260). Towards the end of 2007, the
