Ryan McLane
Early in Donald Trump's election he claimed that if he was elected president then we would build a wall that would run all the way down the southern border of America and Canada. So far, he has kept his word and even made demo walls.
Donald Trump has hired 8 designers to design a wall that will keep illegal immigrants out of the country. Each of the designers built a segment of the wall and soon Donald trump will pick which one he will think is the most effective. Each of the walls stands at 30 feet tall and goes down into the ground 40 feet. The 40 feet that are under the ground is to prevent from tunneling underground into the United States.
Donald Trump is asking the government for a loan of 1.6 billion dollars to start the wall. The completed wall will cost around 26 billion dollars. Each of the small segments that Donald trump had made in Arizona costed an average of 250 thousand dollars. All 8 of the demo walls cost approximately 2 million dollars all together.
Many people are wondering if the wall will completely stop illegal immigration into America. The wall will stop most of the illegal immigrants from coming into America, but it won't stop all of them. Some of the immigrants go as far as digging tunnels 70 feet underground just to get into America. Since the wall will only stretch 40 feet underground the tunnels will still cause an issue to the safety of the country.
The wall will help and hinder America in many ways. Thanks to the wall it will cut the illegal immigration rates in half but will also put us in even more debt than we already were in. Donald Trump's decision to make the wall is not 100% going to happen yet because of the funding issues but if it does happen then the border patrol crew will have a much easier job.
