No matter how high, how wide and how much endurance a fence can be, it still does not prove effective in stopping illegal immigration. Travel from one country to another for better and permanent living is not uncommon and has been happening long before America was discovered. When encountering difficulties or offered better opportunities, it is innate behavior to want separation from those hardships and pursuance of these better opportunities, although certain people do enter with bad intentions.

Not only will money become an issue or even a barrier, but infuriated citizens, communities and environmentalist will not be at rest. The walls will tear communities apart and disrupt conservation of the natural world. Many terrains such as mountains and valleys, Native American Reservations, etc, become an obstacle as well.

Border control and walls become a barrier to their entrance but it does not, in any way, take away the determination to nevertheless find a new land of opportunity, a new land of freedom, and a new land to call home. The idea of gaining success begins with equal opportunities, it begins with the chance to be prosper through hard work, through dedication and through determination. The American Dream filled with freedom and privilege is what influences many to the United States just as other nations have their own attractions. Guaranteed by our founding fathers, “the unalienable rights … [of] Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” has opened a doorway of opportunity to immigrants. The determination and strong will from those in search of a better life, are just as tough at the concrete walls separating them from their opportunities. It is unlikely that any fence, wall, or border will keep such people from their
