This web site shows the negative impact on building a border wall with Mexico. It shows the numbers of US workers and Mexican workers affected by this decision. It shows how much capitol could be lost each day once the wall is built.

Great find! I think that there is no real thought being put into the whole wall situation. Both the U.S. and Mexico have benefited from the ability to import and export goods providing jobs for both sides. The relationship that our current president is establishing will definitely impact our economy in a negative way.

Excellent article! I agree with dennibro about the thought process behind it. First they were going to pay for it, now we are. Then the whole subject of who was going to be paying for this wall started to be backtracked. I think not only is it going to cost an astronomical amount of money to build, it will also cost us a lot to maintain it. I think a better idea is needed.

A current topic since Trumps's campaign for presidency, and specifically right now with President Trump's inauguration last week, this article talks about the cost's of building a wall along the U.S./Mexico border, which would be roughly 2,000 miles in length. Trump made this promise throughout his campaign and seems to be focused on taking the steps towards this within the last week. This article talks about the cost's of building such a wall. I found it very interesting how they add up.

I hope Trump has a large piggy-bank because I don't see where this money will come from. His presidency isn't going to be easy for him if this is how he wishes to start. We are in an age of equality and fairness. More seed opposed than for it.

I agree with Hailey hopefully our president has a saving account because I don't think that Mexico will pay the way for him. In my opinion Donald Trump is going to gain enemies from all over the world because he is not treating everybody the same.

Mexico city has a town Tenancingo known for human trafficking. It's so close to home that it's time for more attention to be put toward human trafficking. Taking young girls as young as 12 is horrifying. There are young girls in the united states that deal with being trafficked as well. These are mothers, daughters, nieces, and people who don't need to be put through such a traumatizing event. When human trafficking is brought up corruption comes to mind as well. There comanly seem to be police, judges, and political figures within trafficking. These girls need help but it's hard to see where the help will come from.

In Southwest Arizona, where the United States and Mexico borders meet on reservation land owned by Native American tribes, many Native American people feel caught in the crossfire between the Border Patrol and the Mexican cartels. This is an area with one of the fewest amounts of Border Control protection, allowing a much higher rate of infiltration by drug smugglers and leaving the Native American people caught in the middle of the problem.

The ATF sent guns to Mexico on purpose saying it was to track them to higher ranking cartel members. They gave working firearms to known smugglers and Mexican Cartel members. Then the plan backfired, they lost all the guns, couldn't track them, and now U.S. citizens have died by those guns.

This article can open up our minds about what goes on with families along the U.S. Mexico border.

The article shows that the Supreme Court overruled the law that people need to proof that they are citizen when they want to vote. There are so many people lost there proof of citizenship by many reasons, and the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 states that citizen just need only one form to prove that they are citizen and they can easily vote

For states that border Mexico--like Arizona, of course--I believe that proof of citizenship is required simply to prevent illegal aliens from voting. The number of Mexican citizens who were allowed to vote outweighs the amount of actual citizens who lost their ability to prove nationality.

Anywhere people go they should have to show proof of citizenship. If there is illegal immigrants in Arizona Im sure they are in other states as well. I know if I was illegal I would get very far away from the border as possible. I think our citizenship laws should get stricter.

Biden has already started to reverse many of the Trump orders regarding the southern border that America shares with Mexico. One of the most important of these is correcting the child/parent separation policy.

This is definitely an important problem that needs to be solved, children should not be separated from their parents. i know it is a difficult issue because it deals with immigration, but the fact that at times they are separated for years is unreasonable.

The article reviews recent news from Arizona government limiting water supply allotted to farmers for 2022 due to the record breaking low of the Colorado river and the status of the drought. It reviews climate changes effects on our western water supply from the Colorado River and Arizona's share of its percentage being cut by an agreement from the early 1900s. The water supply will force farmers into seeking more resourceful ways of farming from drought proof crop to reducing their growing area and crop types but ultimately demands a change in how the western states and Arizona source their water supply as it effects our food supply for the future.

It is truly devastating how the drought is affecting the food supply and our farmers in Arizona, there is a need for better water management, and we need a lot more water in Arizona to survive in the intense heat.

I can't imagine how a farmer feels. The colorado river needs a dramatic change.
