President Donald trump is requesting money to start building the wall on the border of Mexico but he is requesting the US Congress not Mexico. He also wants money to hire more officers and also they want to extend the funding for detention and deportation. I think that the President’s policy will just waste the money on the wall because people are smart and I know that they will find a new way to come to the United States.
I think that instead of wasting money on the wall he should help poor people that need help. Immigrants are people who want to have a better life, They want to be educated and they cannot because they don’t have the money to pay for the school or they don’t have the safety in their home country. I think that he should use the money to make the country better.
He will not make the country better if he is making decisions that in the future he probably will regret. By deporting all immigrants he will not do anything better because the immigrants have a lot to do with economy. If he deports all the immigrants the economy will come down.
The wall will be hard to build and will cost a lot of money. It will cost between $13 billion to $21 billion. The phrase the he said that he wants is to “make America great again”. I think that America has always struggled at becoming great.
We should always look for progress from our history and move in that direction. If we go back instead of forward then we go back to a history of racism like it was against the African American people because of their color and against any of the newest groups of immigrants and against the natives who were here first. If we build the wall we will need immigrants to help him build the wall because he will not do it.
The debate over immigration is also a debate over North American Free Trade Agreement and President Trump has said that NAFTA is a “disaster”.
-Excellent resume, but you seem to have more experience digging tunnels!

i agree that trump is wasting his own money. he should be helping our country instead of worrying about other race. a lot of people don’t deserve what trump is trying to do to them.people don’t want to be sent back to where they came from. they want to be free just like everyone else. there are harmless and innocent people out in this world that needs help and all Donald trump is talking about is building the wall to split mexico from america.

In my opinion, I agree that Trump is wasting money. If he wants to make America great he should focus more on fixing whats wrong with our country. There are many people in need that are homeless and poor. But he would rather focus on those who are working hard to get where they are and destroy what they worked hard for. Trumps state of mind is not in the right direction; instead of building walls and hiring more immigration officers and trying to control America’s work force he should start paying attention to what we actually need. All those billions of dollars should be wasted in what America does need. Many hard working immigrants want to work and pay taxes legally- they are a strength in our country not a weakness.

Donald Trump has said that he wants to do a lot of things. However, I guess he is lying to us. Mexico would never pay 30 to 50 billion dollars for a wall that they don’t want, so if Trump pays for it then he is paying from our taxes. That’s something that no one wants though, I don’t want to pay taxes so trump can build a wall with it. Id rather pay taxes and we can either help poor people or fix roads and help hospitals. that’s my opinion on this story. Therefor, it’s a really nice story.
