The Importance Of The Border Wall In The United States

Thomas Paine spoke of America as a place of diverse cultures, a “mixing pot”. But, as time has continued, Paine’s idea of a country of different speaking people living in unison, has changed greatly. The climax of this universal prejudice towards immigrants began for many Americans on September 11, 1999. Since the tragic terrorist attack on the World Trade Centers, citizens began to question the immigrant security of America. Fast forwarding ten years after many more terrorist attacks, Donald Trump along with many Americans support the idea of building a wall to block out immigrants from the southern border. Some supporters believe the wall would protect the people, protect the goverment, and protect the country as a whole. However, other

Micah Issitt and Andrew Walter define immigration as the “movement of persons from one nation or region to another with the purpose of seeking permanent residence.” Unfortunately, illegal immigration has become more prominent in the U.S. arousing debates on what to do with the illegal migrants. The 9/11 attacks on the twin towers were caused by terrorists, who penetrated our weak borders to gain access to their planned attack. Under the Obama era, two and a half million more immigrants have crossed the border illegally than during Bush’s reign in office, which shows how our border is becoming more and more vulnerable. If the borders are not secured soon, more and more migrants will come illegally and take jobs from legal Americans, also

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

According to the Huffington Post, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras - where most of these immigrants come from - are all in the top five countries with the highest homicide rates, so if the United States is a country of diversity, liberty, and freedom, why build a wall to block out those who want a chance of decent life? During our current president Trump’s candidacy, he proposed the idea of building a border wall between the United States and Mexico. As a majority of the population has obviously known, there’s been controversy over whether or not building a border wall will benefit us in terms of American jobs and reducing crime. Donald Trump has already signed a numerous amount of executive papers towards constructing the wall and taking

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 United States and Mexico border fence has been a recent debate with the people because of the irresistible flow of Mexican illegal in the United States. Living in the lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas, I may be able to see a huge wall or fence being built on our border with Mexico. Other than the economic recession we have to this day, people still have their views and opinions expressed on another topic, the “segregation” wall. Some express opinions on whether this wall will keep illegal immigrants out, others speak on how this is a total disaster both financially and emotionally as in this wall being referred to as “racist”.

Should we have the Mexico Border wall? No, we should not. The country was built on Immigrants. One out of thirty people is an immigrant. We don’t just need to kick them all out of this country.

I’m not Mexican, and the opinion of the Hispanic is that they come to United States for a better life. I’m interesting in the topic that relate to citizenship status. America is proud to be diverse but want to keep out some people. I want know what the reason is. This paper will look at the different side of the issues of immigration in the US and focus on the plan to be built a Mexican border wall. After doing some research, I will make a thesis about whether or not the border wall will be a good idea and it seems like it will work. The border wall will not be effective in keeping out Mexican. I think it will be waste of money.

In recent months there has been a discussion about building a wall on the United States-Mexico border. Unfortunately, it would cost over ten and a half billion (http://www.cnn.com/2016/02/17/politics/donald-trump-mexico-wall/) just to build this wall and it would have to be patrolled constantly in order to keep illegal immigrants from just going over it. These costs, along with additional cost such as maintenance, makes the wall a fiscally irresponsible plan. It is also important to consider that illegal border crossing are just one way to enter the Unite States, according to Pew Research every year almost half a million immigrants come in with legal visas and then simply stay passed the expiration date (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/02/03/homeland-security-produces-first-estimate-of-foreign-visitors-to-u-s-who-overstay-deadline-to-leave/).

Day after day, illegal aliens break the sanctity of our peace with drugs and violence, yet care little for the citizens that they placed in harm. How can we preach the necessity of the protection of all men, if we cannot even protect our own citizens from these criminal migrants? We cannot let this issue fester if we are to preserve our nation’s reputation for protection of its citizens. Yet, even if we rectify this issue, for every man that infringes on American rights illegally, there exists a man that uses our nation’s immigration process to infringe on these rights legally. One can only imagine the harm that will befall America on the political stage because of its failure to protect its people. Economically, as a nation, we can only hope to have the resources to fulfill the needs of our booming industries, but I realize the necessity for the recruitment of foreign workers with specialized skills to be competitive on an international scale. Yet, I do not believe that our nation lacks the resources where we need to invite countless of foreign workers every year through worker’s visas when a larger measure of Americans is left

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

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

The United States of America has always been a refuge where poor and oppressed people from the far corners of the world can come to begin a new life. Much of the nation’s allure to prospective immigrants is in its promise of equal opportunity for all, regardless of race, creed, or color. But the pressures of rising unemployment rates, congested cities, a crippled healthcare system, and national debt skyrocketing out of control have caused America to defend her borders against the influx of immigrants that threaten her already ailing economy. Still, despite all the heightened security measures incorporated in recent decades, a steady stream of immigrants continue to enter the country illegally. The Washington Times reports that there are

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.
