America - Building the Border Wall

            "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The Statue of Liberty poem is signaling everyone who wants to come to the United States. The U.S. Presidency is debating on whether to build border walls and immigration restrictions. We have to figure out a balance for this "freedom' that our Statue of Liberty poem expresses with the need to regulate the numbers of those who are allowed to immigrate to our country each year. The impact of building border walls and immigration restrictions on the ideal of "freedom" expressed in the Statue of liberty would be good and bad. It would most definitely have its pros and cons in this case. But if I were to choose whether to build a wall or not and have immigration restrictions I would have to say no.
             The building of the border walls and having immigration restrictions has its advantages. The wall would keep out terrorists who are wanting to come to the United States and cause mischief in our country. Having this wall would lower the chances of immigrants seeking job prospects or drug running and human trafficking opportunities. If these walls were supported with the technology we have today, and the power of all men we could create walls that are not only better protected, but also almost impossible to get through. As Donald Trump once said "A nation without borders is not a nation. There must be a wall across the southern border Mexico must pay for the wall and, until they do, the United States will, among other things: impound all remittance payments derived from illegal wages; increase fees on all temporary visas issued to Mexican CEOs and diplomats (and if necessary cancel them); increases fees on all border crossing cards – of which we issue about 1 million to Mexican nationals each year (a major source of visa overstays); increase fees at ports of entry to the United States from Mexico [Tariffs and foreign aid cuts are also options].
