Mexico’s president, Enrique Peña Nieto and Donald J. Trump recently peaked interest among Trump supporters wanting to build a wall between Mexico and the United States, on Aug. 31. After the meeting, Donald Trump was talking all about how he has Peña Nieto on his side for the wall at his campaign rally in Pheonix, Arizona only hours after the meeting.

Trump talked about how there will be no Mexican crossing the border hours after the meeting. When in reality, Peña Nieto did not agree with Trump’s plan in the first place.

Peña Nieto believes borders do not need to be physical.

Trump wants Mexico’s taxpayers to pay for the wall. Research shows that the wall will cost around $25 billion. That price includes construction and maintenance.

Mexico should not pay for the wall. It is not what Mexico wants, it is what American Trump supporters want.

History teacher, Tara Schifsky said,”A nation without a physical border is still a nation.” We could save billions of tax dollars if we didn’t build a wall.

Studies show that undocumented immigrants pay nearly $12 billion in tax dollars annually. Immigrants are helping our economy more then hurting it in the long run.

Immigration is what America is built up on. Study shows there are an estimated 11.4 million unauthorized immigrants. 5.1 percent of those  unauthorized immigrants make up the United States labor force. In recent years illegal immigrants numbers have dropped.

Immigrants have had a large impact on our countries economy in the long run. When immigrants come to the U.S. They look for a better life and they want their children to have a better future.

Illegal immigrants from Mexico spend around $4,000-$10,000 just to get a single person over to the U.S. They pay people called coyotes to transport them. Coyotes hold there children hostage or threaten to kill the immigrants if they don’t deliver drugs across the border or other illegal items.

Trump is worried about the immigrants and the drugs they bring to our country. Coyotes force the immigrants to bring them over and to deliver them to a site in the U.S. A wall will not stop people from shipping drugs in to the U.S. It might solve some illegal immigration issues but illegal immigrants are not the big problem. It is the American government.

Once immigrants go through classes and legal work to become citizens. It can take up to 5-10 years for officials to look at the immigrants files. Illegal immigrants have to be illegal and hiding officers for 5-10 years.

The government should hire more officials so that the illegal immigration issue will not be a problem. There doesn’t have to be a wall if there were more people to go through files. It would minimize the time frame for undocumented immigrants to be in this country illegally.

Trump would not have to convince Peña Nieto to build a wall if there did not need to be a wall. There are many other ways to prevent immigration issues. There is no need to cause conflict through two countries for something that does not need to be done.
