Will Donald Trump’s wall be as magnificent as the Great Wall of China or can Trump even achieve the construction of the his great wall? Last Week Tonight with John Oliver is a television program that covers current political news and current events with humor. In the segment, “Border Wall” (cite), Oliver discusses Donald Trump’s idea of his border wall in Mexico. With satirical support and evidence, it is questionable whether or not Trump’s wall is achievable. Considering all the reasons Trumps has decided to propose a wall versus the cost and requirements needed to build the wall, it is concluded that Trump’s wall is inefficient and will provided no useful services, but instead create problematic situations. Therefore, Oliver arguing that Trump’s great wall isn’t as competent as he makes it seem.…
Today many people believe we should not build or build the wall from little to lots of reasons. Many people may try and start and up rise to stop the wall from being built and many people might try and prevent or stop that uprise. I believe that we should not have to build the US and Mexico border wall , and here is…
America's borders are the boundaries between the United States and the rest of the world. The massive flow of people and goods across our borders helps drive our economy, but can also serve as a welcome mat for terrorists, weapons of mass destruction, illegal migrants, and other unlawful things. The new threats and opportunities of the 21st century demand a new approach to border management.…
A fence along the U.S. and Mexico border is a good solution to illegal immigration. This is because it will greatly decrease the number of illegal immigrants coming into America each year. It is estimated that 700,000 illegal immigrants enter our country each year. (http://www.cairco.org/issues/how-many-illegal-aliens-reside-united-states) The fence could greatly lower these numbers if built. Not only will it make America seem less inviting, it will be a lot easier to keep individuals who refuse to enter legally out of America. There are legal and proper ways to enter America for a reason; the fence will help enforce them.…
Furthermore Debate.com also states, “it is a waste of government resources¨. This wall is a tool for controlling immigration and it would be an awful. On the contrary, someone might want to argue that it prevents people from Mexico from coming to the border or United States, but this counter-argument is flawed because it will waste billions of money and it will be useless in the interest of people still immigrating and trafficking into the United States. Also, those trafficking will find alternate routes to smuggle…
The role guns play in our society has long been a controversial topic for the past few years in the united states. There are those who believe that guns do not belong in the hands of citizens and there are those who believe that guns are the foundation that protects our rights and liberties stated in the Constitution. There are too many leading factors as to why there should not be any stricter gun control laws. Some of these factors are that they go against our fundamental rights of self defense, give too much power to the government, and could potentially increase crime rates in the united states.…
The people on the Liberal or Progressive side of the political spectrum are most outraged over the Muslim and refugee ban, the building of the wall between Mexico and the USA, and the Key Stone and Dakota Access Pipeline revival. The Muslim and refugee ban, as well as the Wall, are enacted on the discriminatory belief that all Muslims are terrorists and that all Mexicans are rapists or thieves. The ban of Muslims and refugees is only directed at the Middle Eastern countries that Trump has no business ties to, which is a little odd. Why not ban all Muslims? On the other hand, the wall is estimated to cost between 12 and 15 billion dollars. This wall is pointless. Why not direct this large sum of money to actually helping the American people? Trump could improve education, healthcare, and many other things. Trump has and will waste billions of dollars just to be racist and to benefit his business…
Everywhere around the world, barriers located on each and every continent. From the common American's back yard to the Great Wall of China, we use them for privacy and security, but not all uses of walls have good intentions behind them. An example such as the Berlin Wall, created in 1961, divided East and Western Germany until it's fall in 1992. The North-South Korean border (also known as the Korean DMZ) was created to diffuse tension between the two sister countries, and although it was created with peaceful intentions in mind, the border has suffered thousands of casualties since it's creation in 1953. A more recent boundary is the Israeli-Palestinian wall, which is seen as highly controversial in the middle east ( some Arabs even call it the wall of apartheid), yet the Israeli government insist that it protects the people. Though all of these walls were built for different purposes, they all achieved one goal, and \that is the separation of the people. Since the Berlin wall is the most infamous wall in recent time, I will be focusing on the economical, social, and environmental consequences of its construction.…
Bang. Thump. Bullets flew through the air and American soldiers hit the ground. Death was all around them. Why were these Americans fighting? What are they dying for? And who is going to remember them? These Americans soldiers weren't fighting a lost cause. They were fighting for freedom, they were fighting so the American people can sleep another sound night, and they were fighting to secure the nation. These men and women on the battlefield were dying for independence, the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. And as an American people, yes, we are going to remember them. We will honor them until the very end, never ceasing.…
The total budget for the Department of Homeland Security for the 2016 fiscal year was 66 billion dollars (Homeland Security, 2016). This seems like a lot of money, but if you look at all that the Department of Homeland Security does, then you see that it is worth it. Also, if you compare the budget of Homeland Security to the budget of the military’s 585-billion-dollar budget, then Homeland Security’s budget seems small (U.S. DoD, 2015). Some could argue that the job that Homeland Security does is more crucial to the security of the United States, than the military. Therefore, the funding of Homeland Security should be increased, and the country could take a more self-dense approach to dealing with…
We notice that the United States encourages people from Mexico and other countries to illegal enter the U.S. by providing social services including free housing, food stamps, and other federally or state funded assistance programs without proper screening. Immigration reform will continue to be a heated topic with presidential candidates and voters alike. The border wall was not designed to be pleasing to the eye, instead to send a clear message to individuals contemplating entering the United States…
The American Action Forum, a right-leaning policy institute based in Washington D.C., estimates that immediately and fully enforcing current immigration law, as Trump has suggested, would cost the federal government from $400 billion to $600 billion. It would shrink the labor force by 11 million workers, reduce the real GDP by $1.6 trillion and take 20 years to complete (Trump has said he could do it in 18 months).…
There are roughly 11 million illegal immigrants in the U.S. These illegal aliens cause taxpayers $113 billion dollars annually. This means that they are living in America and benefiting from our resources such as protection by the police, free public school education, roadways, buses while not paying taxes. Donald Trump submitted his ten point plan as part of his campaign. The first task on his ten point plan if elected is to build a wall on the Southern border of America. He claims to force mexico to pay for it or he will cut them completely off. The idea of the wall is a good when it comes to how many illegal immigrants live in America. However, there are ways around it. The process to become an American citizen is highly lengthy and seemingly expensive. I purpose an idea in which the process to become an American citizen would be less lengthy while keeping high…
have overstayed their visas and immigrants who enter the country without ever intending on leaving. More completely, though, any new immigration policies should reflect the need to add protection and security to the most vulnerable border area in this country, the more than 2000 miles of southern border without the structure or manpower to adequately address the problem.…
First, let us start with the part of the proposal that deals with border security. It is definitely a good start to increasing security at the borders without a doubt, but I have a few problems with it. It says that before immigrants are allowed to come over legally the United States would be required to complete the building of 370 miles of fencing and 200 miles of vehicle barriers. This is all good and everything, but then during the time of the building who will be around to stop the immigrants from crossing over as they always have. Who would be around to protect the construction workers who are building the fence from any harm the illegal immigrants might…
