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

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

“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
