At the Democratic National Convention, Sen. Elizabeth Warren derided the wall promise, saying it’s never going to happen. PolitiFact examined the logistics of Trump’s signature promise, interviewing immigration experts about the specifics of his proposal and possible challenges.We reached out to Trump’s campaign for more information on his plans for the wall, including expected total costs and timeframe, but did not hear back. Trump has said the wall could cost $8 billion to $12 billion, be made of precast concrete, and rise 35 to 40 feet, or 50 feet, or higher. He’s said the wall doesn’t need to run the nearly 2,000 miles of the border, but half of that because of natural barriers. The U.S.-Mexico border stretches nearly 2,000 miles, more than half of it along the Colorado River and Rio Grande. As of May 2015, there was about 650 miles of vehicle and pedestrian fencing, according to a 2016 report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office. There is no hard estimate for how much it would cost to add fencing to the remaining portion of the border, but media estimates have placed it between $5.1 billion to $25 billion (Kurtzleben). Obviously, the high end is far more than Trump expects to get out of
As of right now, there have been many answers to the question about “how” but there is not one identified as the definitive answer as of yet. The amount of money needed to build the wall is about 18 billion according to Fox News. (Schallhorn, 2018) With the debt ceiling, ever-increasing people are bringing up other ways to deal with immigration, for example, redoing the laws we currently
Vargas Llosa’s main stance is that the United States government ought not to fund the border wall because it will cost around 6 billion and will “soon be as full of holes as swiss cheese” (Vargas Llosa 49), and because it will do nothing that it promises to do. He writes, “[the wall] will not serve in the least to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States” (Vargas Llosa 47). The problem with his argument lies in the effectiveness of the wall. Granted, a wall will not stop a dedicated person doggedly attempting to cross the border. Nor will it ...
One of the major issues with the wall will be the amount of money it will cost and how it will be paid. Current estimates for the price of the wall widely vary. For example, “Trump estimates that the wall can be built for … $8 billion to $12 billion” (“Here’s What We…7”). Congressional Republicans expect it would cost from $12 to $15 billion; however, a study from the MIT Technology Review estimates it would cost from $27 to $40 billion (“Here’s What
Buzz promised $5,000 to anyone who voted for him ultimately allowing his mass appeal to increase heavily, especially by people who had no interest in voting in him beforehand. Similarly, Trump also makes an outrageous promise. If one can remember “the Wall”, Trump promised if elected to “shield” the border of Mexico which in turn would allow Americans to get all the Jobs the Immigrants “stole” from them. Politico.Com reports President Trump as quoted “We will build a great wall along the southern border — and Mexico will pay for the wall, -- 100 percent. They don’t know it yet, but they're gonna pay for the wall.” In addition, BBC reports that the wall will cost $25 billion essentially building a blockade of about 1,900 miles (3,100 km) over a 10-15 year span, A president can only serve for eight you do the
On November 12, 2015 Donald Trump gave a speech in Fort Dodge at a community college. In this speech he talks about borders in the United States and how we have such relaxed borders compared to any other country, where you get fined a lot of money, prison time or even killed for crossing their borders illegally. While, in America you get a job, healthcare, and education, Trump believes that 's why we are in debt. Illegal immigrants, also can have babies in America and they automatically become legal citizens and Donald Trump call them "anchor babies".

Three weeks ago, Trump’s title elevated from GOP candidate to president-elect. Following this revelation, protests erupted and injured countless civilians and law enforcers. Even high schoolers, trapped in the wrong place at the wrong time, have been tear gassed and endangered through the protests. Yet, these protests determine nothing: on January 20th, Donald Trump will still become president. While hatred continues to simmer below the surface, protesters slowly realize that their street performances cannot ensure a better future, only a violent present. As they become discredited about the state of their country, the democrat’s anger morphs into anxiety. With a president-elect, who, in the past three weeks, has altered his platform and changed
The United States of America is known as the nation of freedom, a place to make dreams come true, and where equal rights are followed. However, our education in history shows a different perspective. The citizens have had a complicated time convincing the mind of Congress on modifying the rights of the people. Before, women could not vote to choose the future of America, yet after many marches, the women who rose up to speak with great fervor accomplished their goal of making it possible for women to vote. The Presidential Election is a time for people to vote for the leader of the country. As I turn 18 yrs old, I have the opportunity to vote for this country’s future. What led me to the desire of voting was hearing Donald Trump’s negative
Have you ever wondered how some athletes have gotten so good at a certain sport? Have you ever thought about what they did in order for them to get this good? For some the answer is simple; workout and train. But for others the answer is different; the use of performance enhancing drugs such as steroids. There are some people that argue that steroids should be legalized and allowed in professional sports. Other people argue that steroids should not be allowed. Today I am going to state my opinion and justify my reason. Steroids should not be allowed in professional sports because it can be very dangerous to the athlete’s health, it is a way to gain and un-fair advantage and it can be dangerous in both social and physical aspects.

Is Donald Trump a populist? The term “populist” has been repeatedly applied to president Donald Trump. To determine whether President Trump is a populist, we first must look at what exactly populism is. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines populism as a member of a political party that claims to represent the common person (“Populist”). However, the dictionary definition of populism can’t fully define populism. Nearly any perceivable grassroot movement can be seen as populist. Occupy Wall Street is an excellent example of a populist movement. The Occupy movement was us, the 99% versus them, the 1% of Americans who are wealthier.
Anyone who knows about politics knows that choosing a president is never an easy decision. I mean think about it, who is really good enough to control the free world? Over the years the choice has been fairly easy but, the upcoming election is nothing to take lightly. In the past the presidents have made sure that everyone was taken care of but with Donald Trump in the running that may be coming to an end for a while. It’s looking like he has a pretty good chance of winning which will definitely not be good for American citizens.
"Sadly, the American dream is dead. But if I get elected president, I will bring it back bigger and better than ever.” This was said by American businessman and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who I believe is best fit to be elected because of his views on immigration, education, and budget and spending.
“I haven’t said anything about me being the only one to do anything, so let me try that. I am the only one to separate Siamese twins. The only one to operate on babies while they’re still in their mother’s womb. The only one to take out half of a brain, but you would think if you go to Washington, that someone had beat me to it.” Ben Carson said this at the ending of Republican debate. He was the head of the neurosurgeons and an author and now running to be the next President of the United States. You may say why do I want another black president, or why should I vote for a neurosurgeon to be in control of a nation? Carson views on education, foreign policy, and economy will prove to you why you should vote for Dr. Ben
