Someone else might argue that the wall will reduce crime by keeping out terrorists and other people that might pose a threat to the U.S but in reality they really can’t keep everyone else out because they are just putting an obstacle across but eventually they will find a way to get across because they are not really doing anything and that is basically making the wall useless if they cannot contain other people out. Other people might also argue that the wall will protect American jobs due to the fact that the wall is basically keeping out the so called “immigrants” and they say that they are the ones that are taking out all the American jobs but their statements are all false and is quite the opposite to what they are saying because many jobs depend on Mexicans and with the alliance of Mexico and the U.S so the topic would be controversial for many reasons. Other people may also argue that the population of immigrants coming to the U.S are still going to come and they will never stop coming because there will always be a reason to come here. Their arguments are flawed because they have no real proof that the wall will work against immigrants and other people that can pose…
“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.…
Amarjit Singh Political Science The weekly article that I choose to read from the website ccn.com was called “Trump order construction of border wall, boost deportation force”. The article was about President Trump keeping his promise during his campaign to build a border wall to help keep illegal immigrants out of the United States. In addition, president Trump signed two executive orders enforcing the construction of a wall between Mexico and United States, while increasing the number of border patrol force to assist keeping illegal immigrant out of United States territory. The other executive order calls for the “stripping sanctuary cities” of federal grant funding that could make undocumented immigrant leave the country.…
President Trump has chosen to build a better border wall and has added new laws regarding deportation of illegal immigrants. With the new wall, there is hope of it detouring those trying to enter into the U.S. illegally and to stop the cartels from bringing in drugs, or attempting to provide terrorist with safe havens to explore possible targets for attack within the…
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 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.”…
Despite an existing fence in place, the creation of a wall would not completely restrict the flow of drugs and people of illegal status from entering the US, nor would it stop the trafficking of guns from the US into the Mexico. The Mexican drug Cartels have too much to loose to just give up, because of a wall what it's size. The Cartels has proven time and again to be resourceful and overcome any all obstacles in their…
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…
The U.S.-Mexican border is the most dangerous area in the U.S. and in order to prevent the leak of drugs and crime we need funding for any form of border control. To prove that the border between Mexico and the U.S. is dangerous and in need of better support, I did some research. Since year 2010, there have been three thousand six hundred twenty-two shootings, stabbings, and deaths by torture. As a journalist in Ciudad Juarez, Julian Cardona has often heard and witnessed beheadings.…
One reason why a wall should be built, is because jobs are being taken away. Immigrants who come to the U.S, illegally, end up getting a job when they are not supposed to. They have no documents so they can not be hired. If an illegal immigrant does get hired, the person who hired them can receive criminal penalties. They can lose their business license and may have to pay fines.…
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.…
Many americans believe that our immigration policy should be modified and revised to limit the number of illegal immigrants that enter this country. I agree that a wall should be build on America’s southern border that will reduce the number of illegal immigrants entering our country and also lessen the amount of illegal drugs that enter our country. Illegal immigrants can spread disease, bring drugs, and take jobs that should be filled by Americans themselves. Most Americans are vaccinated but how can we be sure that illegal immigrants are vaccinated?…
– 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…
By building a wall it would make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to enter the country. Some illegal immigrants may not even consider to try and enter the country because of the wall. According to an article by Robert Samuelson 63 percent of the Republicans agreed that a wall would be a good solution for illegal immigration. Which is an important fact because one of the argument that is being made is that building a wall will help the Republicans. It will help the Republicans because if there is a wall then they get to have big roles in the policy on…
Johnson also stated in his speech that he had his own immigration reform idea called the Comprehensive, Common Sense reform; this reform is like the S.744 bill, granting 11.5 million people citizenship and making changes to secure the border further. He believes that putting more money into border security will help lower the percentage of illegal immigrant’s crossing over into the country. Both Conservatives and Liberals want to have a secure border and to protect our country, but the problem is whether putting more money into border security will actually make a difference. In a debate over border security, Melysa Sperber stated her opinion about it saying, “Border controls have not proven effective at discouraging unauthorized flows. New efforts to enhance the border fence and to implement other barriers along the border would be costly, ineffective, and increase the vulnerability and victimization of border crossers” (Sperber 144).…
