In a blog post titled "Blog 5" for U.S. Government, Betsy Benitez discusses several aspects of Trump’s policies on
immigration and border control.
After reading the article, I have noticed
statements which upon closer inspection of the facts turn out to be misguided.
First off, the article’s claim that Trump desires to rid our country of
immigrants is not an accurate representation of his plan. The key word that
people most commonly seem to be missing on this issue is “illegal”. President Trump
has expressed the need for deportation of “illegal” immigrants and has made
clear that those who are here “legally” are safe to stay.
The author also mentions that she believes the scheduled
border wall will have insignificant effect on reducing illegal immigration to
our country.
According to a recent article for Fox News by Ben Brown titled,“Border Patrol Union President: Illegal Immigration Decline ‘Strictly’ Due to Trump”, illegal border crossing
attempts had fallen thirty percent in February. This sharp increase in border
security has been accomplished without the proposed thirty-foot wall in place.
It would make sense that a more effective barrier than is currently in place on our southern border would only
help these numbers.
