Let Dreamers Dream
Since Donald Trump’s election as U.S. President in 2016, there has been persistent discussion on his motive to build a border wall between the United States and Mexico to put a halt to illegal immigration. President Trump’s arrogant and exclamatory tweets have made his opinion on immigration clear in that he believes building a wall is essential for the progression of the country. I, along with many others, disagree. Politician and 2018 Texas U.S. Senate nominee Beto O’Rourke is opposed to the building of Trump’s border wall and has mentioned in multiple interviews and public speakings that 2018 has been a year for record safety and security in regards to our border with Mexico. While President Donald Trump is clearly not understanding of this, his efforts to build the wall maintain present. The concept of a wall quite literally separating two countries is preventing many from seeking and pursuing a better future not only as individuals, but for families as well. For the leader of our country to suggest an idea that is indirectly showing an act of racism and hate is incredibly malicious and inconsiderate. I am in complete disagreeance of Trump’s efforts to build a wall and believe that if he wants to stop the flow of undocumented immigrants, he should first consider that this is an utmost physical representation of the racial and cultural insults that he has portrayed since the announcement of his presidential running. To conclude, it should also be considered that economic activity in the United States has skyrocketed, and building a wall would stifle this growth and drain money that is needed to fund schools, create jobs, and so much more. A wall is not necessary and it never will be. The “American Dream” should continue to be an attainable goal for those who are coming to our country to work for it.

ReplyDeleteAfter reading some of my classmate blogs, I found Julia’s blog on October 25, 2018, about border wall is interesting. I have given my own opinions about this issue in my blog stage five. I cannot agree with her more because Julia has shared the same idea with me by her well-organized and persuasive complementary.
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Julia introduced her argument about the wall between the United States and Mexico. She clearly stated that she opposed to that idea. Following her statement, Julia gave readers her logical reasoning for not building the wall from Beto’s mention of the 2018 record safety and security towards the border. If she can provide the readers with the details of the record, it will be a more persuasive argument. Through that point, we can figure out that the wall is not necessary for our country now. Later, she mentioned that Trump’s concept of building the wall leads to negative sequences such as showing the hate and racism. Julia also said that the wall separated the two countries and prevented people from seeking chances to have better lives. I think that the wall cannot completely prevent people to come to the United States. Trump’s idea is not totally bad because he wants to control the illegal immigrants, not all the immigrants. However, I disagree with his ideas of building the wall because it is not practical. The border wall is the idea to waste tons of money.
In the article’s conclusion, Julia convinced me that we could take that amount of money to support our community services instead of building the unnecessary wall. In overall, I think Julia wrote an excellent commentary about this controversial issue with her organized and logical reasoning to support her opinions.
