The Pros And Cons Of Secure Fencing
On October 26, 2006, U.S. President George W. Bush signed the Secure Fence Act of 2006 to help secure the US. Mexican border to decrease drug trafficking and security threats. The act mandated the construction of almost 700 miles of barrier fences along the Mexican border. The act also appropriated the expansion of checkpoints, vehicle barriers, and technological systems designed to monitor the expanse of the boundary but per the department of homeland security, this promise had not been kept, just 5 percent of the double-layer fencing is complete, only 36.3 miles. Under those circumstances, the boldest promises made by the president-elect, Donald Trump, as well as one of his first promises, was building a wall along the US-Mexican border.
"I would build a great wall, and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me, and I’ll build them very inexpensively," Trump said, announcing his candidacy on June 16, 2015. The southern border runs about 2,000 miles’ radius from California to Taxes, and Mr. Trump is planning to build a 2,000-mile wall with the height of 55 ft. The border is thought to be beneficial to the US because it will help protect it against unidentified people and drug trafficking and as some argue, establish clear sovereign authority over the state’s territory. Altogether Big promises are to be expected from the new president-elect, Donald trump. But reality often intrudes asking the questions about how effective will the wall be at preventing illegal immigration, the feasibility of building such a large wall considering the geographical and the environmental aspects for the area that surrounds the US-Mexican border and the estimated cost of doing and maintaining such a large project. Constructing the wall, previously a signature applause line at Trump campaign rallies is new a complicated endeavor, fraught with difficulties.
