Walls Are The Trend, The Shutdown Must End!

   Walls are the trend and the government shutdown must come to an end. Walls are a trend as approximately 77 walls are now bordering various countries around the world. By the end of World War II there were seven border walls and or fences around the world. When the Berlin Wall came down in 1989 there were fifteen border walls and or fences around the world. Present day, there are at least 77 walls and or fences around the world. Apparently, many of the walls were erected after the September 11th terrorist attacks in 2001. While Democrats seem not concerned with illegal immigration and the safety of our nation, other countries are very concerned. Hence, the erection of walls around the world. For years various nations have realized the necessity of a wall and or fencing as to stop and or decrease illegal immigration. That being said, I have to ask, why is the idea of a border wall on America's southern border so outrageous? Furthermore, why is a border wall considered heartless and racist? I have not once heard Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer call out China, India, Israel, Northern Ireland, Finland, France, Morocco, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Brunei, Iran, Pakistan, Russia, Thailand, Austria, Greece, and Hungary for their use of border walls. Not once have I heard how heartless the Iranians are for having a wall which borders Pakistan. Not once have I heard liberal main stream media call out Russia for their electronic wall on its borders with Norway, Finland, Mongolia, and North Korea. Nor have I heard liberal lawmakers call out Austria for being racist as they are currently building a wall bordering Slovenia. The fact is, due to terrorism, and the mass immigration throughout the world, more and more countries are in the process of building walls or have already built a wall or walls. That being said, walls are the trend, and the government shutdown must come to an end.

   The government shutdown must come to an end as some 800,000  federal employees are now on involuntary leave or are forced to work without being paid. This past Friday some 800,000 federal employees went without a paycheck. If the shutdown continues, some 800,000 federal employees will miss future pay checks as well. While the United States desperately needs a wall, some 800,000 Americans desperately need their paychecks. With roughly 80 percent of American workers living paycheck to paycheck, the United States is at present, in a state of emergency. Our country is in a state of emergency as 800,000 people can not survive for very long without a paycheck. While our President, and those on Capitol Hill know not of living paycheck to paycheck, the vast majority of the country does know the struggle of living paycheck to paycheck. Some 800,000 federal employees have heating bills, school tuition, medically necessary prescriptions, health care costs, grocery bills, IRS payments, and other expenses that must be paid. Many of these people can not afford their daily and monthly expenses without their bi-weekly paychecks. As credit cards could well subsidize those who don't have the luxury of a plush savings account, it is quite likely a good many may not even own a credit card. Without the help of credit cards and paychecks, I have to ask the President and those on Capitol Hill, how do these federal employees take care of their families and survive? 

    The now 28 day government shutdown must come to an end. It must come to an end as we have a national emergency. We have a national emergency in terms of our country and its people not being properly protected. We also have a national emergency when some 800,000 federal employees are not getting paid, President Trump can end this shutdown and get his wall that he promised his supporters. How does he do that? Simple. The President can use the "nuclear option" to obtain the necessary votes to build the wall. In using the "nuclear option", President Trump would only need 51 votes instead of 60 as to have approval for the $5.7 billion for the border wall that is at this point no longer an idea, but a necessity. The border wall is a necessity when there are  between 16.5-29 million undocumented immigrants currently living in the United States. Millions of people whom our government knows nothing about are living among us. While many may well be very nice people in search of a better life, there are also a good number that resent and or despise and hate Americans, Without these people coming to America legally, Americans are at risk. The mere fact that Americans are at risk due to millions of illegal undocumented immigrants is a national emergency, and it is an emergency that must be addressed immediately. 

     Our nation's security should be more than enough of a reason for lawmakers to give in to the President and give him the wall. While many Democrats would rather die than give in to any of President Trump's demands, several American civilians have indeed died thanks to the failure of Democrats to protect Americans from illegal immigrants. One more American life being taken due to drugs being brought across the border is one too many. One more American life being taken by an illegal immigrant driving under the influence or recklessly is one too many. One more American being tortured, raped, and or murdered by an illegal immigrant MS-13 gang member is one too many. One more American life being taken advantage of and stolen from by an illegal immigrant is one too many. Illegal immigration must stop, and it must stop now. A wall is not heartless. A wall is not racist. A wall does not mean that good law abiding immigrants in search of a better life are no longer welcome to come to America legally. A wall is merely a protective measure as to ensure the safety of our nation. A wall will aid in decreasing and or stopping the continuous immigration of illegals into our country. A wall is not a bad thing. A wall is something that has been used by various nations for years. A wall is also something that is at present being used more and more. Walls are the trend Mr. President, Madame Speaker Pelosi and Mr. Schumer, and in closing the government shutdown must come to an end.
