The immigration laws that President Trump has imposed on illegal immigrants may affect the U.S. economy in the long run. The U.S. economy has had its ups and downs throughout the years, but has always managed to stay on top. However, this time the economy may fall into another recession like the one in 2008, and one of its factors will be President Trump’s vendetta against Mexican immigrants. Getting rid of immigrants will hurt the economy because it will halt money exchange between Mexico and the U.S., leave many unwanted jobs vacant thereupon decreasing revenue, and create a hostile environment between both neighboring countries. For the most part, the U.S. has been known as the land of freedom and opportunities where many can achieve their dreams. Yet, this is not necessarily true for everyone who comes to America.

and Mexico are relatively close to each other in comparison to other countries. As a result, President Trump should not be creating any more conflict with Mexico. However, President Trump wants to cut off most ties with Mexico, but still have control over it. Boaz Atzili notes, “State weakness promotes the possibility of international conflict by creating opportunities for neighbors to intervene to exploit the weak states economically or politically,” (Atzili 8).

This will eventually backfire because this will create a security dilemma with other countries, and the U.S. will have the image of a bad neighbor. As a result, other countries will fear U.S. involvement and will cut their business ties, while others will use it to their advantaged to overstep on other countries and implement their

For many Mexican immigrants, crossing the border into the land of freedom and the American dream is no easy task. Some immigrants come over illegally by means of hiding in cars to cross borders, using visitor visas to stay longer, marrying to become citizens, and having babies as ‘anchors’ to grant automatic citizenship. Other immigrants gain green cards and work visas and work their way into becoming US citizens legally and subsequently gaining citizenship through paperwork for their families back home. After escaping harsh living and working conditions in Mexico, immigrants come to America prepared to gain education, opportunity, and work. This American dream unfortunately does not come to pass for most.
