We should build a wall between the United States and Mexico

Being a Latin American citizen I find it completely disrespectful that Trump wants to build a wall between Mexico and the U.S. Can we also acknowledge the fact that there is already indeed some sort of fence that separates the US from Mexico. It is not as elaborate as the one that Trump wants to build but it gets its job done. I do not even believe that the wall is being built as a security precaution. The wall will not significantly reduce any real violence such as homicides and other very violent crimes in the US. The real issue that we have with illegal immigrants is not necessarily because they are crossing the border, it is because people are using their visa’s wrong. If you look at it from the economic point of view this wall will not even really affect more US citizens being able to get jobs. Usually, the jobs that these Mexican workers are taking are not even jobs that American citizens would like to have. Also, they are extremely low wages. Even if we look at it in terms of drug smuggling this will not stop it either. Drug smugglers have been bringing in drugs through several tunnels. Also, it is absurd to believe that we could actually build a wall between Mexico and the US. There are many sections where the wall could not physically be built. If we believe that we should be spending all of that money on a wall,l that is being built as something esthetic than actually fixing real and bigger problems then that is just very sad. There are way bigger issues that would actually help the US advance and grow.
