What is
Trumps wall really going to prevent? This thirty foot wall could easily be
crossed by simply purchasing two 40 foot ladders from the Home Depot. If an
immigrant wants to come over to The United States they will find a way. If you
think about it, underground tunnels have been constructed to traffic drugs. Who’s
to say that the same will not be done to cross individuals into the United States?
How many people actually cross illegally through the desert? I would think that
most immigrants that enter The United States do so by receiving a work visa. Once
the work visa expires individuals end up just staying here. The Mexico border is
not the only place immigrants enter through. There are many entry points along
the east coast such as Florida in which an immigrant can enter.
Trumps
border wall, in my personal opinion, is a waste of time and tax payer’s
dollars. If this wall were to be built,
how many people would need to patrol it to ensure its defense? Where would the income come from to pay these
individuals? I can understand President Trump’s safety concerns, but a concrete
wall is not the way to keep immigrants out.
I feel that tax payer’s dollars could be better served improving our
school systems or other pressing issues here at home. Trump says that in the
end Mexico will have paid for this wall. I do not see this happening, what do
they have to gain by doing so?
