"Finishing #wall will reduce #criminal activities" Jul 21, 2024

The smuggling of guns and drugs and the act of human trafficking between U.S. and Mexico is a heated topic. We have taken all the necessary steps to reduce the criminal activity along the border. A wall is the right choice and funding it is the right thing to do.

The U.S. government has found a way to tackle the problem. According to an estimate, the final budget of the wall will be $11 to $15 billion, which is not a big deal with the help of federal tax holders. This activity will create thousands of new jobs in the U.S. during the construction of the wall. What a great way to stimulate the economy and provide for our national security.

In many areas close to Mexico, the ratio of human trafficking and smuggling of drugs and guns is increasing at a rapid pace. However, experts have now suggested that the wall's development against the southern border will reduce, and potentially eliminate, human trafficking through Mexico.

Many opponents have raised significant issues against the development of the wall. However, they're still unable to deny that a single wall can reduce the crimes through the Mexican territory in many ways. Border safety and security is important to protect national interest and protect citizens from human trafficking, drugs, and gun smuggling.

The absence of any hindrance between the two borders could lead to the never-ending increase in Mexican localities' illegal activities. The development of a wall along the southern border greatly curtails the violence of human trafficking, smuggling of drugs and guns.

Looking long term, the outcome of the wall's development along the southern borders will decrease the social and economic violence bordering Mexican territories, overall reducing government spending on programs that are needed to combat these activities.

So it would be a wise act if President Biden continued to finish the wall along the southern border with the help of federal tax dollars.
