Mexican wall

Building a wall is one out of a few ways to stop or slow down illegal immigration. The cost of the wall will be much less than the cost of not having a wall. Also the distance of the wall is limited due to harsh conditions along the border. The fence that we have placed does not help the hard job of the border patrol agents. The economic crash will not be because of the wall, it"s more likely to happen if America has to continue to waste over 100 billion dollars. The problem we face with illegal immigration is three things: they are taking our jobs, they"re bringing drugs and weapons to our homeland. And last but not least they are doing it illegally. There"s not many ways we can stop illegal immigration but a wall will be a huge huge help. Like I said before you can give the citizens of Vermont three jobs at once with how many jobs are given to illegal immigrants. Also according to mark potter from nbc over 700 tons of marijuana from Mexico into Arizona alone was seized in 2016. That doesn"t include what was smuggled into other states. In 2017 a 43 year old women was caught with several assault riffles and hand guns, multiple ammunition magazines, two weapon scopes and 6000 rounds of ammunition on the southern border. There are plenty more stories of incidents like this. Lastly why don"t they do it legally? There are people that have waited many years waiting to be accepted into our country and it"s not right that people can just walk across our border. They are using benefits and are actually in some cases put before actual Americans in today"s society. The cost of a wall will be much less than 100 billion dollars. Like you said before America will end up having to pay for the bill. That"s fine because it still would be less than the amount we pay for open borders. By having less illegal immigrants come to our country we will probably see more jobs appear for actual American born citizens. And by opening more jobs for legal American citizens which includes immigrants the economy will grow and unemployment will drop. The cost of wall paid by the us has a greater effect than many think. The distance of the wall will only matter if the wall is in places with a high volume of illegal crossings. Lots of the border is not good conditions for crossing and lots of immigrants actually go through the same ways of others. So we need to build a wall that stops them from crossing those places that they can cross. You told us that we can solve the problem by adding more agents to the border. That"s true and president Donald Trump has added more agents to the border. A big problem for the agents is that the border is to big for them to secure and by adding more isn"t going to solve the problem. It may help but not help like a wall could help. Also the fence along the border is horrible. We continue wasting money on fences that are continuesly cut through and plowed down. A fence that is supposed to help the agents at the border does nothing in reality. What has also been mentioned is the fact that you said there would be an economic crash and leave our generation sitting with a wall and no money. That"s false that"s just a way to scare people into not liking the wall even more. Wasting 100 billion dollars a year will bankrupt the United States before building a wall would. Building a wall would create more jobs while under construction and after construction. Wether it"s to keep the wall clean or just beacuase there are less illegal immigration. Making more jobs means a better economy and better life for all Americans. You also said that taxes could be raised for the wall that"s simply wrong. We use the money, the 100 billion dollars to build the wall and either way wouldn"t we rather see the money we earn keep us safe rather than go to programs that do not work or even see our hard earned money go towards payouts for large banks. We cannot continue to let this problem be unsolved. We need to elect more people who want to keep us and the next generation safe. Americans will gain so much from a wall. It"s the only way to stop crime, drugs and weapons caused and brought by illegal immigrants. They"re are great illegal immigrants in our country but what would be even better if we can say legal immigrants. A wall will keep Americans safe and will become an icon of strength.
