Again, we should not build the U.S-Mexico wall.

In the Blog Stage Five of the US Government course, there is the blog that discusses about the same topic as mine, which is really attracts me. The blog, written by Auburn Lucas, proposes that we should not build a wall between the U.S and Mexico. Lucas and I have a similar opposition over this problem because a border wall will waste billions of dollars, and it also lead to some serious national issues in the U.S.

I totally agree with Lucas that building a wall will add much more to our debt, and we will “be in deep trouble regarding our economy, foreign affairs, and the environment” (Lucas). He states three effective reasons to support his argument. First reason is very straightforward, and it is the main concern of the U.S: who will pay for the Trump-Mexico border wall? Everyone is questioning that who will pay for a wall since “President Trump is strongly advocating for lower taxes and the money for the wall is not coming from our taxes (Lucas).” Additionally, the U.S-Mexico border can impact negatively to internal and foreign affairs l of the U.S. The border wall can devastate wildlife and nature between the U.S and Mexico because it prevents animals from accessing foods, water, and mates. The U.S-Mexico border wall will also hurt the South Texas farmers as well, and the rivers between two countries might be cut off. Throughout the last two reasons, Lucas shows the damages of building a border wall since it probably hurts both both people and natural of the United States.

Lucas is successfully persuaded the reader why we should not build the US-Mexico border wall. His article is very thoughtful and fairly detail. He uses brief evidences to support his opinion throughout his blog. However, I would like to see more facts and reactions of people in the U.S over this issue.

In conclusion, I agree with Lucas in the issue that the U.S should not build a border wall with Mexico. The main purpose of Trump’s wall is to stop illegal immigrant, but no one can guarantee that the wall will stop illegal immigrants. So, why should not we build a stricter border security instead of wasting billions of dollars on it. That does not make sense at all. Thus, Lucas and I discourage the U.S and Mexico border wall.
