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.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
