The “Babylonian Exile” is one of the most famous exiles in history. The Jewish people of Babylon were exiled to the Kingdom of Judah due to their religion. Just like what happened to two of the main character’s of Barbara Kingsolver’s novel. In Barbara Kingsolver’s novel, The Poisonwood Bible, the Price family is among the main characters. The family is made up of Nathan Price, the Reverend who led his family on a mission trip.…
Blog Post #5: United States Border Wall If you have watched the news at all during the course of the last year, you will be certain to have heard about President Donald Trump’s Wall! During President Trump’s first campaign rally he yelled, “WE ARE GOING TO BUILD A BIG, GREAT BORDER WALL!” A large border wall stretching nearly, two thousand miles across four states, is Donald Trump’s solution for United States Border Security.…
In an interview, Donald John Trump, an American businessperson and a Republican candidate running for president, specified: “ The immigrants are bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, and they’re rapists. It’s coming from Mexico. It’s coming from the south and Latin America and it’s coming, probably, from the Middle East, but we don’t know because we have no protection.” As a result of the immigrants coming into America, Trump wants to create the immigration plan. If Trump’s plan is carried out, the Mexicans would be unauthorized to enter America because of the “great great wall,” possible recessions and riots would take place, and all illegal immigrants including the birthright citizens will be forced to leave America.…
But one may ask “How do you expect to get every single illegal to go back to their home country?” His only response to this could be is to build the 10-foot wall. Johnson said “A 10-foot wall just requires an 11-foot ladder.” this does say a lot because people will do anything to be in the United States. Trump wants people to come into our country, he wants to bring people in but all he wants is to be able to do it legally.…
Donald Trump is trying to be remembered and this wall is his plan. The wall is more than just a wall. It has negative symbolism that will make the United States look like a prison. People will no longer be able to look at our beautiful country the way Emma Lazarus described it. “From her beacon hand glows a warm wide welcome.”…
Out of the Badlands In recent months the U.S. - Mexico border has become under scrutiny, then Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump announcement that he was going to build a wall along the southern boundary of Mexico and the U.S. to protect Americans from "Some bad Hombres"(Cummings). It's no secret that the Mexican drug cartels are conducting drug and human trafficking into the U.S. via tunnels from one border town into another and in some instances has been known to attempt to bring these items and persons though US Border Patrol controlled entry point. The southern boundary of the US should have a wall created to restrict the flow of drugs and people of illegal status from entering the US, and stop the trafficking of guns from the US to…
A mere wall would not stop the flow of "aliens" coming into the country. For those people who have nothing will always find a way to better their lives . Building a wall also intensifies the ever present tension between the two counties. A better alternative may be to add more border patrol to surveillance the border and also to find any alternative ways that these immigrants are entering the…
Up to 12 million people in the United States are here through unlawful entry. Building a barrier to close off the border is not a cheap investment but the results will be priceless. An increased quality of life for the citizens of the U.S. will be granted if a fence is built on the border between Mexico and the United States. Improved safety, minimized crime, and better workforce are only a few of the many reasons the border should be closed. Control of our borders is required for national security and the safety of U.S. citizens.…
The results election of 2016, has shocked many citizens in the United States. It is incredible how Donald Trump was able to win the election, after everyone thought he was just fooling around.

Nonetheless, half of the United States remains unsatisfied with the results for not many people went to vote and acted wisely. Because of this, America will be stuck with a president that will pass laws that will/will not benefit the public.…
In this paper, I will attempt to address the following questions about the border wall Trump has suggested we build, how effective would a wall be in preventing drug trafficking through our border? How much would it cost? Who will be paying for it? And finally, how will this affect illegal immigration (and in turn, our economy)? First off, How effective would a border wall be in preventing drug-trafficking through the southern border?…

I believe When Donald Trump promises a wall be built with Mexico paying for it, he is taking advantage of this anxiety whites have. This promise we be incredibly hard to deliver, I feel that he saying these strong promise with vindication to garner votes, for he…
Over the past few weeks I have been accumulating Information about the economy over the past fifty something odd years, and to say the least I was blown away by my findings. My discussions mainly centered on the economy through the 1960’s which was in the heart of the Civil Rights Movement. Two weekends ago I made a trip home to Topeka to speak with my Grandmother, Nina Whitten (73 years old) about what she remembered about the economy back during that time period. This particular topic was a fascinating one to talk about for the both of us. Her first memory was about the jobs that black folks were practically forced to take because there were not very many options.…
– Mexican border. Sources have shown that crime rate, smuggling, people trafficking, amongst other issue should be greatly reduced once the border wall has been completed. The cost of wall will money and time well spent, once U.S. citizens start benefiting from the cost to them from illegal immigrants. As shown, the wall should have a great impact on the decrease of loss of life to the immigrants who trying to illegally cross the…
The approach that Trump is taking is harsh, but common. Building a wall to protect something that has been done since Hadrian’s Wall; consequently, placing a wall along a border to protect a nation is a medieval idea. However, it would have social and economic downfalls. Our relationship with the Mexican government would be strained by insisting that they pay the fee to resurrect a wall keeping their own citizens out of our country. This could be dangerous for United States citizens living along the border, because immigrants would be increasingly desperate.…
