Trump's Wall: Border Protection Against Drugs And Terrorism

In This Article:

This is a controversial issue. Most of the hate for it stems from the fact that Trump wants to keep immigrants from coming to the country illegally. Let's all be honest here, MANY Mexican immigrants come through the border illegally.

Are they all Mexican? No. I'm sure there are other immigrants from other countries coming through the Mexico Border.

But let's not forget that the Drug Cartels have tunnels that lead from Mexico to the US. I guess that's not reason enough for us to be concerned. Let me share a little piece of info with you. I live in New England and we have more deaths here from cheap Heroin coming from Mexico than I have ever heard of.

A lot of you probably think that it's just circulating and that it's the person using who is responsible for their own death but the Heroin that's here is cheap but powerful. Since the US is making Marijuana legal the cartels figure that they have to keep making money somehow so they're sending this deadly drug throughout the US.

That's one reason that I want to speak out about the Wall. The other being that the illegal people in this country are getting here unfairly. They sneak across the border and unless they are caught by border patrol they get to stay in our country and take jobs that the American people could be using.

For those of you that get offended easily, I'm sorry but it's just not right. If you want to be an AMERICAN do it the right way! I have a cousin that fell in love with a girl from the UK. She is working on a visa to become an American Citizen. This has been a long and grueling process.

For the last year, she has not been permitted into the country because she was waiting for the Embassy to decide her fate as to whether or not she could become a citizen here. After the year-long wait, she has finally been approved and will be coming to live with my cousin for good soon.

That's the proper way to become an American Citizen. If you can't do it properly then I don't think that you belong here. This was not just given to her, she had to do her part and wait out the process.

Another point that I would like to bring up about Trump building the Wall, ISIS. ISIS has flooded the UK and many of the big cities are attacked almost monthly because the UK just let them in. Trump is trying to put a stop to that with building the Wall. How many of the people that cross our border illegally do you think are ISIS members? I would guess a lot. The Mexico border is the easiest way for them to infiltrate the US.

Trump is smart enough to realize that, I don't know why the rest of us don't get. Or maybe it's that we don't want. We figure that if we turn a deaf ear and a blind eye to that the problem just goes away, it won't.

Today I started my third week of college at Minnesota State Moorhead. I have survived welcome week, finding my classes on the first day, and being an awkward loner in the dining hall. Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.

Others have slaved away many nights under the fluorescent lights, and are slightly annoyed to find their study space being invaded by amateurs. While these newbies wander aimlessly around the first floor, hopelessly trying to find a table, the OGs of the library are already on the third floor long tables deep into their studies.
