The Border Wall: Least and most effective approach




The U.S.-Mexico bordering wall was another tactic made by the U.S. governments in hopes to keep Mexican people from entering the country illegally. Supposedly. The wall has resulted in no decrease in the number of people attempting to cross the border illegally, but has definitely raised the death rate of those people attempting to do the commute. It is hard for me to believe that the U.S. government thought a wall would stop people so desperate that they already risk their life crossing the desert to get to the Unites States. The U.S. government did not build a wall for it to represent a stop sign, they created it to give Mexican immigrants a choice of coming to the United States legally, or die. In my opinion, the rules applied to illegals once in the U.S. abide by that same ultimatum.
Then of course, there is the economical side of the wall. So little as one tiny hole in the wall costs approximately $1,300 to repair! Over the next 20 years the fence along part of the wall is costing $6.5 billion. The reason why I think this is so disgusting is because that to me says, the United States government will shell out several billions of dollars to kill more Mexicans. They are completely aware of the fact that building some little wall is not going to stop a husband and wife to fled to the only place they know they can provide for their children.
