Trump Wall

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.

The wall will help control the number of illegal immigrants coming into the country and ensure they go through the correct legal processes while also ensuring the safety of both American and Mexican citizens. Paul Sperry, a writer for the New York Post, explains, "Before 2010, federal data show the border city was mired in violent crime and drug smuggling, thanks in large part to illicit activities spilling over from the Mexican side. Once the fence went up, however, things changed almost overnight. El Paso since then has consistently topped rankings for cities of 500,000 residents or more with low crime rates, based on FBI-collected statistics" (2). Due to a fence going up on the US-Mexico border, El Paso is looked at as a model town and a prime example of what many of the border towns could turn into with the construction of the wall. However, the border wall is conclusively against Mexicans and based on racist mindsets. Frank Daniel, a writer for Reuters.com, writes, "Shortly after the wall was built, Juarez was plunged into a hellish war between cartels that made it the murder capital of the world, while El Paso remained the safest U.S. city of its size" (2). Though the wall may help one side of the border the other side could, in the end, face unfortunate

Is there a problem in the U.S with illegal immigrants from the southwest border. The answer is yes and the only way to stop it is to build a border wall. There is nothing out there to stop the immigrants from walking over. “There are more illegal immigrants come to the U.S from the Mexico border than any other border” (Lee). There needs to be a wall or a finc to stop people coming here illegal.

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”.

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.

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.

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 .

One of the most divisive stories in the news today, literally and figuratively is the border wall that the Trump administration is trying to put up. Despite some of the more negative aspects of this plan, there is a silver lining to this wall. For one thing, immigrants cross the Border whether there’s a wall or not, and nothing is more disconcerting than trying to go about your day and having to bear witness to the victims of Border Patrol. Also, the Border Wall is attempting to slow down the rate of illegal activity and raise the level of documentation throughout America. Despite the fact that it seems stereotypical or narrow-minded to say that a lot of unqualified people are sneaking into the US, Daniel Horowitz made an excellent point when he said, “It has been said that no fence can stop the determination of illegal immigrants seeking job prospects or drug running and human trafficking opportunities.”(www.procon.org). We can’t ignore the gracity of such a massive project; therefore, we must acknowledge the Pros… but in the same sense we must recognize the

Imagine looking over the desert landscape of the southern United States and seeing an enormous concrete wall. Few people may say that the wall is a hindrance to the scenery, but many would say that the wall is blocking something. It would be meant to block immigrants from illegally entering the country. However, the real question would be how effective the wall is at preventing illegal entrance. I believe that the wall that would be placed on the southern border is not necessary to stop illegal immigration in the United States because of the costs, effectiveness, and other less costly options that could help reduce illegal immigration.

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.

Cartoonists, Lalo Alcaraz, in his editorial cartoon reveals the hypocrisy within the United States relating to the hotly debated border wall along the Mexican border. Alcaraz depicts the Native Americans proposing a border wall as the Pilgrims are migrating to the New World. He utilizes irony as the descendants of Pilgrims and many other European immigrants, who claimed the land of the natives as their own, currently want to keep out the proclaimed illegal immigrants that are coming into America for a better life, the same reason why their ancestors immigrated to the Americas. This reveals the hypocrisy in many Americans that have forgotten their roots and the sole reason why they live in the land of the free. The thought provoking irony incites

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.

   Illegal drug trafficking is a major problem between the us and Mexico. There are six main drugs most commonly Trafficked into the United States. The percentages of drug trafficking offenses are as follows methamphetamine 24%, cocaine was 24.1%, marijuana was 21.5%, crack was 13.1 %, heroine was 9.8%, Oxycodone was 4.6, and other was 3 %. This current decade is seeing the largest per person drug usage in American history, and by building the wall it should prevent drug distribution to the United States

On June 16th, 2015 the soon to be President, Donald Trump made his big presidential announcement “I will build a great wall. And nobody does walls better than me, believe me. Very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border and I will have Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.” following with his one of his ways he plans to make America great again. Throughout Donald Trump’s campaign building a wall on our southern border would become a immediate goal to complete if he was elected. After Trump won the presidential election he began taking some of his first steps toward fulfilling one the continuous pledges that defined his campaign. Trump’s fourteenth day in office on January 25th, 2017 he signed an executive order
