The Trump Wall Controversy

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.

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.

There is talk on what the cost would be, along with whether or not it could actually be done. Although Trump states the wall would only cost about $8 billion to $12 billion, officials and engineers state that the cost is far above that, potentially reaching $25 billion. However, Trump state this because he believes that he will only have to build a wall that is 1000 miles long since we have a lot of natural barriers by the border (Kessler 1). However, the cost is not the only question that has arisen on the media. The actual possibility on whether or not the wall could be built has arisen too. So, because of the high cost, and Mexico already stating that they will not pay for the barrier, people are stating that the wall cannot be built because we do not have that type of money laying around. However, if Mexico were to end up paying for the wall, it could very well be possible that the wall be built (Rhiannon

The Department of Homeland Security “dhs” were set to build a total of 370 miles but only completed a 300 mile section by the end of december 2008. The biggest problem that hey rain in too was that they couldn't get all the land that they needed to finish the fence. They reserved the right to build the fence on April 1, 2008. There is still a number of miles that has no wall or fence (vitiello). The wall caused an estimated 4 billion annually to keep the wall maintained. There will also be a cost to pay people to

Trump doesn't want any immigrants in the United States. The reason why Trumps wants to build the wall is that he wants to keep all the criminals, drugs, gang, and violence out according to Fox News. The budget plan for border security is $23 billion and $18 billion for building the border. Also, the prototypes will be 30 feet tall and 30 feet wide and it will cost up to $500,000. In other words, he says

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

In 2014, the budget for the United States border patrol was upwards of $3.5 billion according to the CBP. This country is already spending an absurd amount of money on border control. Despite all of this funding undocumented immigration still runs rampant. Let's face that facts Donald, increased border protection doesn't work. As Malcolm Galdwell would say, it follows the inverted-u logic. Put simply Border Patrol produces diminishing returns and may even increase undocumented immigration. All the "Mexican Great Wall" does is just further prove Trump's animosity towards hispanics.

In the article “Trump outlines immigration specifics,” Jeremy Diamond and Sara Murray analyze Republican candidate Donald Trump’s latest immigration policy proposal and demonstrate how his unrealistic plan could cause more harm than good. For many years now, the topic of immigration has always been a problematic one and with reason. One side argues that immigrants are taking American jobs, while the other side maintains that immigrants are actually helping the US economy. While both sides rarely see eye to eye on multiple issues, one thing that they can both agree on is that the current US immigration system is, indeed, broken. Because of this issue, Trump has proposed an immigration plan that would require the US to build a wall along the

The United States should not build a wall on the Mexico border because of all the bad effects It could have on the U.S. after it’s built. One of the main effects of the wall would be on the economy, the trade with Mexico would be crushed by the wall, jobs would be loss too. Another effect if the wall was made is the social effect on the communities of the people around the wall. One last effect of the wall being built is the political task of .

“In 2014, 5.8 million unauthorized immigrants from Mexico lived in the U.S.,” according to Pew Research Center (Krogstad). Regulating the number of illegal immigrants from entering the United States has become an increasingly significant issue for the federal government’s agenda after, the number of unauthorized immigrants reached a peak in 2007 at 12.2 million, when this group made up 4% of the U.S. population (Krogstad). An abundance of proposed solutions have been offered to limit the steadily increasing number of illegal immigrants from reaching American soil, such as: mandating E-verify, a system that determines whether or a not a person is eligible to work in the United states, strengthening border security, and fortifying interior enforcement measures in the United States (Illegal Immigration and Border Security). Another major plan sources from President Donald Trump, who hopes to build a wall spanning between the United States and Mexico. This idea has ignited numerous opposing arguments that have picked out its irrationalities, and display how Donald Trump’s proposal to erect a wall generates more complications than benefits.

“What Donald Trump doesn’t want you to know about his plan to build a “Great Wall” between the U.S. and Mexico: He’d need to steal private property from Americans to build it” (Somin). Analysis: Ilya Somin’s use of tone and diction shows exactly what trump is doing and speaks in a sullen tone to inform people exactly how many Americans are losing their homes and lands to fulfil this large project along the borders of the United States and Mexico. “During the campaign, Trump promised that Mexico would fund

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

Placing the wall between the two countries would most likely leave a bitter taste in the mouths of the Mexican people, and Trump stating that they’ll pay for it only adding insult to injury. However, there are those that feel the wall is necessary to keep America and its inhabitants safe from “invaders”. Before the presidential election, BBC News interviewed Republican delegates on their thoughts of Trump’s wall. When one Republican delegate was asked about what she would do if the people South of the border attempted to find a way over the wall, she replied, “Personally I would shoot them...They’re invading our country.” While the wall would succeed in protecting the American people, it would fail to protect America from the seemingly unthought of consequences of building such a thing. The wall would only damage foreign relations, isolating us from our geographical neighbors, and shooting them certainly would not help. In

There is gigantic problems in the united states such as drug trafficking, and decrease in jobs. These can be connected to illegal immigrants. It is with clear understanding the reason Trump wants this wall, and this is to solve these problems. although seen as many as unethical. The thing is the US has a problem, he has a solution, while others have knocked his idea down they have not offered up any ideas either. With that said we should move forward with the

RESPONSE: In the article it says” Trump promises to build a wall along the U.S-Mexico border to stop illegal immigration and that he’ll make Mexico foot the bill.” In my mind this isn’t achievable for Trump. The immigration problem goes one way and that’s for Mexicans illegally coming into the U.S. There has not been an outcry from the Mexican government or population of Mexico about Americans illegally going into their country. So they would have no reason to pay for a wall to protect their border as
