Build that wall to block illegal immigrants
America's immigration policy is in dire need of reformation. President Donald Trump is intending to improve our economy by reforming new immigration laws. One of his platforms is to build a modern wall between the U.S. Mexican border. His intention is not to thoroughly stop new immigrants from coming into our country but to control illegal immigrants from coming into the United States.
This policy has had a lot of controversy in our country, but it is only intended to keep America safe and strengthen our country. Due to the abundance of illegal immigrants coming into the United States, it is becoming a burden on our taxpayers and our social services. The amount of money we spend on illegal immigrants can be used towards providing services for our legal citizens that are in need of help.
The current fence that is built along the border is not enough protection against immigration, because there are still many immigrants who cross it illegally every day. With President Trump's proposal, it will hopefully improve border security and save taxpayers millions of dollars. It is time to put an end to illegal immigration and come to America legally.
