Fence is the most traditional way to separate things. The Chinese emperors spent generations to build the famous massive Great Wall to keep Mongolians from invading their territories. The United States' immigration problem has been the most concern issue within the nation for years. Previously, the federal government had built a 14-mile-stretch fence a decade ago in San Diego, Calif., that borders Tijuana, Mexico. It seems sensible to build high-tech fences along the Mexico-U.S. border to prevent illegal migrants from just walking into our country. According to the research, more than 1 million undocumented immigrants try to slip across the mountains and deserts every year along the 2,000-mile border into the US. If we construct an effective fence build with sensors and surveillance cameras, plus Border Patrols sweep with flood lights and trucks along the barrier, logically, it should control this notorious criminal activity.
Doubt
As a matter of fact, in those 1 million illegal immigrants, hundreds died trying to across the dangerous mountains and sizzling deserts in search of work in the US. Despite the existing difficulties, the numbers of immigrants never show any signs of decline. We are being selfish and even exposing symptoms of Eugenics belief-theory that claimed that the immigrants were inferior to Anglo-Saxons and were “polluting” the “pure” American bloodstream, thus trying to eliminate them from the perfect society. I'm not saying we are overt racial bias, moreover, I consent that the problem is severe, and it's reasonable to take actions to cut down immigrants, but not as simple as building fences. Think about it, building fences will just make it harder for these people to sneak in but will never stop them, just like the Europeans in 200 years ago who willing to take risk to sail over sea looking for a better life in the new world. As long as that intention penetrates in their mind, they would choose other more lethal routs, or invent methods to cross the border in just a matter of time. Therefore, the border fence program is superficial that by no means can solve the whole migration culture. A society is impossible to contain only the upper class and obtain equillium at the same time. A healthy society is a continuous struggle among people, the poor can become the rich, and the rich can one day turn out to be the poor. We should indeed help them convert their ideas and corporate with their governors to regulate the mass, get under the skin of the issue so we are able to give it a proper shot.
