Commentary on “The Wall To Be, Or Not To Be, - That Is The Question”

          I chose to comment to my classmates blog titled “The Wall To Be, OrNot To Be, - That Is The Question” from a source I was unable to find. However, with what I was able to read, I do agree with my colleague on that fact that Donald Trump’s idea on building a wall is quite simpleminded and idiotic. Building a wall could no way stop people from entering the United States if that was their whole goal. Yet, while what I read was interesting and what seemed to be true facts, I wish my colleague would have had a reliable source I could have followed with and elaborated more on his/her topic without just listing questions.

            First of all, my colleague did have great points as to why Trumps wall would never work. As I did some research about the wall, Trump mentions that he would only have to build so much of the wall because natural barriers such as lakes and mountains will keep immigrants from passing. But in reality, a wall may indeed make it harder for immigrants to pass but I do not think it will in any way stop them to, it never has. I also agree with my classmate on the money issue. I think building a wall will only put is more in debt, something we really do not need. Donald Trump says that Mexico is going to pay for the wall and in fact says it is going to be “easy” to get them to. Again, this is foolish to say. Mexico is not going to hand over 8 to 12 billion dollars to build a wall, they even said this.

            I think my colleague wrote a satisfactory commentary. I agreed with all he/she had to say, yet I think this is a topic that could have endless things to write about. We both agree that building a wall is not a smart idea. It is a money pit and there will be little to no positive outcomes with this idea. I must say it was a great topic to write about though! This is a topic very popular in our government today.
