Answer:

pros and cons

Step-by-step explanation:

pro - decreased illegal immigration (can cut it up to half depending on security and population)

pro - financial costs of illegal immigration will drop as inmates from crossing will be decreased

pro - decreased scale of illegal imports

pro - national security increased

pro - immigrants are more likely to use real ways of safely getting into the US legally

pro - patrolling is much easier and border security will be less needed so funds can go to other opportunities of financial aid.

Con - Construction costs can be billions not including the extra patrol and stations that will be necessary

con - will most likely harm relationship between mexico.

con - animal wild life will be greatly disturbed in the area

con - Low unemployment rates and rising minimum wages has created a shortage in labor-intensive jobs that American citizens don’t want to do.

con - It gives a false sense of security, as taller ladders and digging under the fence can allow illegals to get past the wall ( will still be more difficult however)

i believe straining mexico for the costs of the wall is a bad idea and of course should come from our budget, and a wall could be very efficient as we can then focus more on bringing people up with overstaying their visas (which is te most common way illegal immigrants come in)
