The president of the United States, Donald Trump, is trying to stop immigration in the US and Mexican border by building a massive wall diving the two. Trying to build this wall would be too expensive, and that would mean that taxes would increase for everyone. The United States already has a large debt, and building the wall would only add billions of dollars more. Also I think that America is constantly growing, and it needs more workers to do minimum wage jobs. Americans don't like working for the minimum wage, but immigrants come to the US to try to achieve the American dream and that is by working.

He states that 37 percent of adult Americans have fast food for a meal at some point of their day. While I do agree with Bakalar's argument I think that while it happens at s ome point during the day, I don't think it goes though the whole week. I think the problem is that they're just becoming lazy or they don't know how to cook to make their own lunch. I think that depending on the job people are more or less likely to get fast food. Also Bakalar says that women are more likely to snack on fast food, and men are more likel
