  1. Um, about the wall... a) 57% of Americans don't support a border wall along the Southern border, by a Gallup poll as of June 2018. In another poll CBS reports that 59% of Americans do not support a border wall along the Southern border as of Mid-November 2018. The president must adhere to the will of the people as his mandate requires. b) Historically walls don't work, look at the Great Wall of China and the Berlin Wall, the latter which is seared into people's collective memory for what the pain it brought about and its ultimate downfall. Walls just usually bring about more violence and destabilization throughout history. c) Increased technology, like I said before, is not that cheap however it is much, much more cheaper than the tens of billions of dollars than what a wall would cost in workers, materials, and maintenance, saving us a lot of money. These can include aerial and underground sensors, high tech drones, AI powered facial recognition, and human presence detection, according to the Guardian. In conclusion, why use a centuries old solution to solve a 21st century problem, especially when most Americans don't want it, they rarely succeed in their objectives, and it's extremely more expensive than the options I and many others are saying which is THE USE OF MODERN TECHNOLOGY. WE LIVE IN A TECHNOLOGICAL AGE UNRIVALED IN GLOBAL HISTORY SO WHY INSTEAD OF USING OLD AND EXPENSIVE SOLUTIONS WHY NOT USE MORE EFFECTIVE AND INEXPENSIVE SOLUTIONS THAT CAN HELP SECURE OUR NATION'S SOUTHERN BORDER(S). BTW, I'm not yelling just empathizing strongly my position in my closing arguments. Technology is upon us and let's use it the right way, the way to protect our citizens effectively.

So, its not biased just reporting the truth about how the president's lack of political experience and purely business mindset of no compromise is hurting our government over an ineffective wall.
