Only the Trump Walls

Only the Trump Walls

In Russell Wetmore’s letters, it has shown promises of the country’s president’s ability to address the issue of illegal immigrants in the country. However, Donald Trump has taken some measures. Still, they do not seem to be as efficient as the building of the wall, which was among the primary reason we elected him (Dombrowski 2017).

According to her letter, Trump has only replaced 120 miles of some of the dilapidated fences that are already there of a possible five hundred miles fence. The wall is to play a very significant role in the curbing of smugglers’ entry from Mexico. Yet, three years down the line, no signs of building a wall. Furthermore, what’s even worse, he would have at least finished repairing the existing fence if the building was not achievable.

She goes on to acknowledge that Donald Trump has taken other beneficial measures like engaging the other countries to help in addressing the issue. Guatemala, for example, has agreed with the united states that instead of the united state keeping the captive in the border, they be flown to Guatemala and be held captive there as they wait for trials. While this may look like a good idea, but the citizen of the United States do not want a solution for a problem because it is clear the only way we solve this is by making sure that these people are not able to gain entry into the country.

The only way they gain entry in the United States of America by illegal immigrants will be appropriately handled once the wall will be constructed (Gomez, 2016). The wall will reduce the number of people being detained in the border cells hence reducing the problems of over-congested cells. Thus the wall will also help in reducing the number of illegal immigrants in the country, so there will be fewer immigrants making the issue quite manageable.

While Russel may see it from a different perspective but those are just short term solutions by the president who does is failing to live up to the promises he set for himself. Trump’s walls are among unfulfilled promises in the reign of Donald Trump, but we can all hope for the best for the rest of his term.
