    Trump should not build a border wall.

    1) There are other ways to increase border security other than the wall. 

    2) More money could be invested into technology for the border and may be more efficient.

    3) A border wall would cost billions of dollars which could be invested into other things.

    Donald Trump should indeed build a border wall.

    Here are my reasons:

    1. The cost of illegal immigrants doesn't stop at the amount of money it takes for the problem of illegal immigration. This problem goes as far to lose millions of jobs.
    2. There are too many security issues to let illegal undocumented immigrants into our country.
    3. The amount of drugs sold illegally has increased dramatically. A lot more weapons/drugs are being exchanged on the Black Market.
    4. Wasting millions of dollars a year on illegal immigrants is more than just building a wall that will protect future generations to come.

    Illegal Immigrants positively contribute to the U.S. economy. Theu provide labor and jobs for possibly better prices for certain jobs than others. This could help people and businesses.

    Intellisio said:

    There are too many security issues to let illegal undocumented immigrants into our country.

    Some illegal immigrants may provide security issues, but American citizens may also commit crimes, etc.

    The increase may not be directly or indirectly caused exclusively or at all by the southern border or any border.

    Intellisio said:

    Wasting millions of dollars a year on illegal immigrants is more than just building a wall that will protect future generations to come.

    A wall on the southern border would cost billions of dollars and may not contribute positively to the economy. This could cause an increase in the United States’ s deficit.
