Government Issue
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. Though it might not be the correct approach big business like the idea of having minimum wage workers. Another reason why building the wall is unnecessary is because many immigrants already come illegally to the United States. The wall would just be a waste of money as they will find other methods to access the country. People will not stop trying to achieve the American Dream because of the push factors in their home country, or by the pull factors America has to offer. The reason for the wall is to prevent criminals from entering the country, but the reality is that most of the immigrants that come to the United States come to work rather than commit crime acts. Having more employment helps the country's economy, and it helps it grow. Not building the wall doesn't mean to automatically let all immigrants in. I think immigration should be regulated as it is being done right now. The wall is unnecessary.
Comments
The aggressive aggression of the immigrant shows that it is an extremely serious matter. In this case, the border wall is the house’s door, and strangers try to intrude the door without any permissions. Some of them are very aggressive to induce you feeding them by your money. Will you keep silent and ignore it, or pay any prices to push them out of the house? Obviously, “the reason for the wall is to prevent criminals from entering the country” (Cardenas, “Government Issue”), so it is reasonable to intrude over 10,000 immigrants who are considering as the illegal territories.
As Cardenas said, “the wall could be a waste of money”, when “they will find another method to get access to the country”. However, at least, it is legal. They must comply with America’s laws, they must reach the requirements, and they must get under government’s control. It is totally different to compare those cases with those immigrants who are illegal to intrude the territory.
The author are totally right when saying: “America is constantly growing, and it needs more workers to do minimum wage jobs”; and “having more employment helps the country’s economy”( Cardenas). However, there are many types of the legal immigrants: who have well educated, who own the businesses, and who do the job with the lowest wage. Donald Trump does not say “no” to immigrants, he just prevents and reduces illegal immigrants. Therefore, the wall is the method to solve the problem.
