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 …show more content…
Labor costs have declined for other americans looking for work, Due to the employers who are able to hire them for wages lower than they would have to pay to hire U.S. workers. And with jobs being a scarce commodity nowadays finding a hard good paying job is hard. employment of an illegal alien is illegal under a law enacted in 1986, but employers still ignore the law and hire illegal workers in the underground economy. Still other employees just fake documents so they can hire illegals under the table for the cheap labor costs.
Drugs continue to pour into the united states despite all of the efforts from the Drug Enforcement Administration, border patrol, Of course a wall won 't prevent every drug to stop pouring into our country. But it will most definitely make it harder on drug dealers. Most of all the deadly drugs that come into the United States across the vast 2,000 mile long land border between the US and Mexico. Mexican drug cartels make an estimated $19-$29 billion a year on drug sales in the United States. So they will do anything they have to do to make smuggling drugs past the border possible. And when they enter the border they don 't just bring drugs with them. The confrontations with the drug cartels has took too many lives, due to the confrontations with the drug cartels involving territory with other dealers as well as the attempts to
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.
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.
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
The heroin epidemic in America has been an issue for decades. According to narconon.org, the heroin epidemic truly began in the Wild West during the 1800’s. Many scholars believe that Chinese immigrants brought the drug to America. Morphine is a derivative of heroin, and during the civil war, many soldiers, both northern and confederate, was injured and became addicted to the drug after being treated with it. It was from opium that morphine, a derivative, was developed as a pain killer in approximately 1810. It was considered a wonder drug because it eliminated severe pain associated with medical operations or traumatic injuries. It left the user in a completely numb euphoric dream-state. Dr. F.W.A. Serturner named the drug morphine, after
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
Whether people like it or not, America has chosen a President whose policies are not only absurd but could also be detrimental to the nation's economy. Throughout the political campaigns for the presidency from both candidates, Clinton and Trump, have been faced by various controversies. However, Mister Donald Trump has proven to be more infamous. According to his campaign's website, Donald Trump argues for the creation of a wall across the southern United States-Mexico border, as well as having Mexico paid
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.
Hilliard as well as the country, is being ravaged by the growing heroin epidemic. Heroin overdoses have become the leading cause of death in the United States, killing 43,000 people annually. Heroin has a devastating effect on the individuals, and families of this community. Leaders are few and far between in Hilliard, and I believe that with enough leaders, heroin can be overcome through effective and intentional leadership. Leaders who care will help this community by helping heal the relationships between the addict and their family and community. I believe if this community stands up, not only can we rehabilitate addicts but heal this community with practices discovered in the Rat Park experiment.
To determine Donald Trump 's stance on immigration,particularly the construction of a wall on the southern border, it is wise to analyze articles in order to see his thoughts on such as issue. The reasoning behind building an impenetrable wall is to regulate the number of illegal immigrants that cross the American border. He relies on the notion of an excessive amount of illegal immigrants crossing the border detrimental to the economy as well as the security of the American people,
Not only will it be extremely hard to retain the 20 billion dollars worth of funding for the wall, but it will also be difficult to construct due to private property rights and uneasy terrain. Acquiring the rights to the private land would cost a fortune, and the wall would not be very effective due to the fact that it would only slow down the flow of undocumented immigrants, rather than stop it altogether. Trump also plans on arresting and deporting 11 million undocumented immigrants, which will cost close to 200 billion dollars, and will lead to military-like operations being conducted throughout the country. In reality, Trump’s policy is deemed insufficient, ineffective, and
He wants to put up a wall in order to secure our nation. Article I; Section 8; Clause 4 of the Constitution reads, “The Congress has the power to establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization.” Naturalization is the process by which an immigrant becomes a U.S. citizen. If Trump puts up a wall, people have no way of becoming a legal immigrant which is saying that they are not worthy of that even though other people have been in the past. This situation goes against the principal of government stated in the Declaration of Independence saying “that all men are created equal”. Plus, if Trump did become president, in order to even make this happen he would have to follow the principle of popular sovereignty which is implied by the first three words of the Constitution saying “We, the people” in terms of popular sovereignty meaning the government's right to rule comes from the people. As focused in on, Donald Trump's view on immigration is
The article, “Why Trump’s Wall Won’t Keep Out Heroin,” was featured in The New York Times, a center-left publication, on 2/16/17. The author of the article is Sam Quinones. Quinones is a freelance journalist who works for The New York Times, National Geographic, and the Pacific Standard Magazine. The accuracy of the many assertions in this article was difficult to verify because some assertions are generalizations, or information is not widely available. Sources were not provided. The author remains objective throughout the piece, although the author is clearly not in favor of a wall along the US-Mexico border. The solution presented is not to build the wall. Quinones does consider different opinions and the various pros and cons of each.
So how will a wall stop this massive drug enterprise? It won’t and never will, but if the wall won’t stop them then what will? To solve this issue the US and Mexican government need to work together. Since 2006 the two countries caught or killed 33 out of 37 of the most dangerous drug lords but each drug lord that is caught or killed the rest learned from their mistakes and adapted. Despite being forced to adapt there’s one thing they refuse to change about themselves, their national pride. Drug lords are deeply patriotic and very active in local communties by funding and creating local soccer teams, building schools, and inviting everyone in the community to huge holiday parties. By doing this they kill two birds, they help their own communtiy and gain positive public opinon. After gaining the trust of the people they use that to sponser select politicains. The Mexican people are deeply patriotic so when a politician is being sponsered by the people that are building and improving their country the politician is almost guarnteed to win. The Mexican people are already against the wall and if a wall is built a surge of national pride ripple throughout the country and give the cartel the chance to seize even more power and
We will be stopping drugs and guns if we put up that wall. The illegal immigrants could be caring drugs when the cross the border.
A wall creates new security issues; border agents can't see what’s happening on the other side. The Department of Homeland Security says a fence is more secure than a wall. It would not be a backyard fence. Along many stretches of the
