Since Donald Trump has been elected as the President of the United States of America, he has made many terrible decisions, but the worst by far would be building a huge wall between Mexico and the United States. Not only does this wall waste a large amount of money and time, but it is also an embarrassment to “America the Great”. Trump’s wall is a waste of money and time because no physical wall will stop the illegal activity between Mexico and the United States. President Donald Trump has made America the …show more content…

Building a wall is a waste of time because all the workers that are hired to build and maintain the wall should be working on protecting their citizens by helping with policing around neighborhoods or even safely. Thousands of hours will be spent on building a wall that will take what will seem like forever. Donald Trump's idea of building a wall to keep illegal immigrants and illegal activities out of the United States is a big waste of time, money and a lost that the United States will have to suffer and live with for many more years to
