Supporters of the border wall assume that since walling off a country is becoming a trend in Europe, America should do the same. According to Ann Simmons, author of "Why Border Fences Are Built Between Neighbors," Reece Jones, an associate professor of geography at the University of Hawaii, believes that during the end of World War II there were few walls built between nations, and in the 1990s there were only 15 walls built between nations; however, 25 new walls have been built between nations in the past five years (par. 4). Basically, Jones is explaining that constructing walls between nations is becoming common. However, Jones does not state that most of these walls are built between nations that are trying to restrain migrating refugees. For instance, according to a study done by Simmons, in September, the British started construction on a 13-foot wall in the city of Calais; the wall’s main purpose was to deter refugees and immigrants from entering the country (Simmons par. 6). Essentially, Simmons is saying that the reason Britain is walling off one of its cities is because of the refugee problem in the Middle East. Indeed, the supporters of Trump’s wall are correct when they express the fact that other nations are secluding themselves in by building walls; however, the reasons these countries are constructing are those of which the United States of America does not have. For example, according to Warren Richey, author of “Inside Trumps Wall: Will It Work?,” Turkey recently built a 560 mile-long wall on their border with Islamic State-inhabited Syria, and Israel has a 420-mile-long wall that is highly disputed (Richey, “Inside Trump's Wall" par. 17). These countries have a problem that the United States does not have. The United States of America does not have a serious issue of Islamic-State-affiliated personnel entering the country. Building a wall on the southern border with the purpose of keeping people out is a direct violation of the morals of the Founding Fathers of America. However, supporters of Trump’s wall insist on building a wall on the southern border; they want to keep illegals out even if that means breaking the values that the founders of America shared. With that, critics of the wall in Israel do agree that the wall is effective at keeping Palestinian militants from carrying out suicide bombing in Israel (Richey, “Inside Trump's Wall" par 17). On the other hand, the illegal aliens that America has bombarding its country on the southern border are not those that will be killing Americans. The fact is well-known that America is a country whose backbones are rooted with immigrants who moved here looking for a better life. If one were to travel from California to Maine, he or she would encounter multiple citizens who originated from a variety of different countries. For this reason, building a wall to keep people out of America is against the exact morals that America was founded upon. Also, experts agree on the fact that nations typically build walls in between other nations to prevent people of poverty from entering. According to Kenneth D. Madsen, associate professor in geography at Ohio State University at Newark, "Today, the walls are really between countries that have economic discrepancies" (qtd. in Simmons par 12.)Basically, wealthy nations build walls if their neighbor is a poor nation. Trump supporters are right when stating that walls in other countries do keep people out. On the contrary, Mexico is the United States’ ally, and the United States should not want a wall that will stand as a social barrier between its ally. When one thinks about a great wall that divided two social classes, poor and rich, the Berlin wall comes to mind. Many Mexicans feel like America does not want to interact with Mexico after the 2016 elections. This is not be surprising due to the crazy allegations that President Donald J. Trump had preached during his campaign-- Trump insists that illegal immigrants are drug dealers and aggressive rapists. A wall between the two countries, now, would divide the two nations even farther. According to Frederick Taylor, author of “The Berlin Wall: A Secret History,” when the Berlin Wall went up, the citizens lost hope that the country would, once again, reunite as one (par. 9). Basically, after the Berlin Wall was built, the citizens decided that they would never be united again. Although this later proved to be untrue, the citizens of Mexico will feel, if Trump builds a wall, that the United States does not want to interact with the Mexican people. If the wall is built, Mexicans should be reminded of the Chinese Exclusion Acts. These Acts, in 1882, limited the amount of Asian immigrants who could enter America and challenges their citizenship (Cook par. 7). Donald Trump overlooks the fact that history is not on his side when he wants to limit the amount of immigrants that enter America.
