Donald Trump’s Wall: Literal or Figurative?

Unless you have been living under a rather large rock for the past few months, you are probably all too familiar with Donald Trump’s wall proposal. When he first made the statement claiming that a wall should be built between Mexico and the United States and that payment for that wall should come from Mexico, it caused a lot of controversy. US Immigration Bonds has been following the story and the question that comes to the mind for most politicians now is, was he being literal or figurative?

An article on the Mexico wall in the Chicago Sun-Times, details the assertion about U.S. immigration from Rep. Darrell Issa, who says that the “build a wall slogan” should not be taken literally. Rep. Issa goes on to say that Trump might use the short form to communicate his policies and ideas, but he believes that Trump wants to fix the immigration issues; to make it easier for immigrants to come to the U.S. legally and extremely difficult to do it illegally.

No matter which side you are on, Donald Trump’s wall is a big part of the candidate’s push for presidency, and he seems to be running his campaign on no-nonsense when it comes to immigration.

The Chicago Tribune recently analyzed if it were even possible to build a wall. Some may not know this, but a wall was proposed and approved during President George Bush’s second term. It was so fraught with issues about environmental convers and land-owner rights, that only 650 miles of the over 2,000 miles was actually walled off.

US Immigration Bonds is a part of the immigration discussion in the United States because it is our industry and our passion. Whichever way you may lean, we can all agree that it is time for change and reform; time to make positive moves and look towards a better future in the United States for all citizens, as well as those seeking U.S. citizenship.
