There should never have been a problem with the Dakota Access Pipeline, and it should be built. The pipeline has many benefits, and few, if any, actual problems. Nodaplsolidarity.org, a site dedicated to opposing and protesting the pipeline, avoids the issue of what the problems with it actually are, saying that the pipeline is a violation of the United Nation’s Declaration of Universal Human Rights, and a violation of the United Nation’s Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, without actually naming what it is about the pipeline that violates these declarations. Since there appear to be no actual issues violated (and they are declarations of the United Nations, not the United States) these problems can be dismissed, leaving us with…
NAFTA is a free-trade deal that came into action in January 1994, it was signed by U.S. president Bill Clinton, Mexican president Carlos Salinas, and Canadian prime minister Jean Chrétien. The main purpose of the agreement is to eliminate most tariffs on products traded among the United States, Mexico, and Canada. This agreement took away important tariffs in several different industries like, agriculture, textiles and automobiles. The NAFTA agreement also included things like intellectual property protections in the three selected countries. The partners of NAFTA include Canada, United States Of America and Mexico. Removing tariffs were important to this agreement because it allowed balance throughout each country. Mexican tariffs on US made products were 250 percent higher than US duties on Mexican products. NAFTA removed the tariffs creating this balance between the countries when…

Trump took the Presidential race by a storm instantly gaining supporters from across the nation. However, his strategy was like no other presidential candidate in history. Fearless and bold, President Trump fueled the racism and sexism of America becoming the talk of every community. Yet, some despised him hypocrisy, much more rejoiced his authenticity. He was not a politician nor did he spend decades working in Washington, but he a blatantly honest billionaire who had conquered the business world. Unfortunate for Trump, since his term began in January, he has finally realized that he needs actual political knowledge to govern the nation, a thought that had never crossed his mind. Due to his lack of common sense and education, Trump has unraveled…

The U.S border with Mexico spans almost 2,000 miles from the states of California to Texas, and illegal immigration, drug trafficking, and other security breaches along the border have been issues of growing concern for decades. After September 11, 2001 the call to secure American borders increased and the idea of expanding physical layers of security along the Mexican border began to gain serious importance in the minds of lawmakers. Signed into law by Ex-President George W. Bush, the Secure Fence Act in 2006 mandated the construction of almost 700 miles of barrier fence along the Mexican border; proponents of the physical fence believe that the barrier will act as a strategic impediment for those who wish to cross the border from Mexico into the United States illegally. While the wall proposed is 700 miles long, the US-Mexico border is roughly 2,000 miles long. This means illegal immigrants will simple try to cross over the two-thirds of the border that is not covered by the fence. A fence along the US-Mexico border should not be built as it will not stop illegal immigrants from entering the United States.…
Many people died during the process of building the wall, The wall was also very expensive to build. But, without the wall, many people would have died because of war or attacks because of the Mongols. Also, because of the wall, China grew rich because of the trade on Silk Road so they made up the money for which the wall took to build. People would have been sent to war with bad conditions more often and more times without the wall. The wall gave soldiers an advantage in battle. This is why the benefits in building the wall were greater than the cost.…
Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States reinforced their border patrols against illegal immigrants, terrorists and contraband coming into the United States. One of the major problems the United States has been facing for the past years regarding immigration reform has caused the country to collapse with conflicts, political convenience and presidential elections against immigrants. Border Patrol has caused many changes not just to the country, but most to the U.S.-Mexico border. Immigration laws should be fixed to help keep illegal immigrants in this country who have all the necessary requirements.…
