In the text it stated that “serving the U.S-Mexico relationship would be devastating to both the U.S and Mexico, to both our economies because of the number of jobs that depend on that relationship. In the U.S, he adds, about 5 million jobs depend on trade with Mexico.” Without the U.S and Mexico relationship/alliance being gone, then that means that all of those people will be left without a job because the alliance of Mexico and the U.S will be gone and other jobs that are related to the border will consequently be gone. Those are a lot of jobs that depend on their alliance and it is not fair to those people that will be affected because of that because the jobs are lost. The people also didn’t have any say in this choice whether to build the wall or not and this is important for the people to have a say in this because this act would affect them as well.…
“Border Fencing Is Bad Policy” According to Melanie Mason, the author of “Border Fencing Is Bad Policy”, the United States should not build a fence that spans the border of Mexico. There are 12 million undocumented immigrants living in America, and the author claims that a fence will stop nothing. The government has been trying to put more barriers between America and severely restrict immigration, but according to Mason, “the border fence is a political band-aid for a larger policy problem.” By using evidence and appealing to human compassion, Mason convinces the reader that a border fence is unnecessary and a small issue covering up a larger one.…
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.…
What does the Border wall do? Well, Border wall between the U.S and Mexico will protect American Jobs and reduce crime, crimes such as the drug deals, gang members, and attacks. The wall protects American jobs by less illegal people coming to the U.S because Mexico is sending illegal immigrants across the border. These illegal immigrants are Mexicans who are coming to America to live off government allowance or commit criminal activity. Their are millions of people cross the border.…
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.…
In the 2016 presidential election, both candidates Hillary R. Clinton a Democrat and Donald J. Trump a Republican have stated their plans for immigration. Donald Trump believes that bigger fence comes with greater defense; he proposes that to end illegal immigration is by building a big and an impregnable wall, where “Mexico will pay for it” (Porter). While that might sound good and interesting to see be done, it 's highly unnecessary. For all we know the wall is already there, which is a fence across large stretches of the southwestern border completely surrounded by drones, sensors and army agents (Porter). So if undocumented immigrants, in ways unknown, bypass the fences, what make a wall so different?…
Donald Trump Immigration Proposal October 19, 2017 Dear Donald Trump, After the actions you’ve made in the past you somehow got elected to be president of the united states of America. Then you decided to bring back enforce some laws like the anti-immigration law. I’d like to say that I strongly disagree with your decisions.…
Contrasting Trump’s ideas are Julia Preston, Alan Rappeport and Matt Richtel’s article from the New York Times, “What Would It Take For Donald Trump to Deport 11 Million and Build a Wall?”, which explains how Trump’s ideas are not possible and how Trump does not follow up on his statements. Both of these articles address…
Supporters of the Wall believe that the wall would allow both the US and Mexico to interdict in this weapons trade and potentially save many Mexican lives in the process (Mortensen). Opponents of the wall reiterate that if there is a will, there is a way. Stating that the cartel will find a way to circumvent the wall regardless of its…
Environmental Effects of the Border Wall on Animal Migration and Vegetation Introduction: The border wall has long been a controversial issue since its original proposition in the early 2000s. Aside from the obvious differences in opinions, there is a clear problem with the building of a border wall between Mexico and America, the impact on the environment due to the border wall itself and the surrounding a travelling populations of humans associated with it. As much as individuals would like to think that the border wall is effective in deterring illegal immigrants, it really does little except drive migrants deeper into the dangerous and desolate wilderness in order to cross. What is effected is not the migration of humans, but the migration…
Would you be angry if you lost millions of dollars every year because people don’t pay their taxes? Well that’s how the government feels about illegal immigrants when they cross the U.S. and Mexico border. Illegal immigrants are crossing the border and are getting jobs in the United States, without any documents. American citizens are paying more taxes and that money goes to places like churches and charities that are protecting illegal immigrants so they can stay and get some money. A wall across the U.S. and Mexico border will protect American jobs and reduce crime because, jobs are being taken, illegal immigrants are not paying taxes on their jobs, and many criminals will not be able to smuggle items across the border.…
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.…

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?…
The Boundaries of Immigration Is it necessary to build a wall along the US-Mexican border? The wall might keep few individuals away from the United States, but is it enough to stop illegal migration? Recently, immigration has been the main issue in the American political election. “From the U.S. perspective, it is contiguous section of the continent acquired by the United States, beginning with Louisiana Purchase in 1803; continuing with the acquisition of Texas, the Oregon Territory, and the Mexican cession of 1848; and ending with the 1853 Gadsen Purchase of the lands between the Gila River and the present Mexican boundary” (Lorey 6).…
