The idea of having a wall at the southern border of the United States has been in the mind of every American after the 2016 election. However, I believe that a wall at the southern border of the United States will not be productive because walls are looked at as social barriers; all throughout history walls between communities have been viewed as negative the most known is the Berlin wall. Also a will not slow illegal immigration or drug flow into the country because there are too many ways to get into America that does not involve going over the border. With that, I believe that a wall will waste taxpayer money because the amount of money that would be spent on a wall is colossal, and Mexico will not pay. Finally I do not believe a wall will influence immigration reform because immigration reform has not been agreed on for decades.
