Donald trump stated, “I will build a great wall — and nobody builds walls better than me, believe me —and I’ll build them very inexpensively. I will build a great, great wall on our southern border, and I will make Mexico pay for that wall. Mark my words.” Do you agree or disagree with the notion that the USA should build a wall to keep people out?

Being an Immigrant is a right that can be taken away when abused like all others. The U.S. is one of the most diverse nations in the world, however we can't take in every one, otherwise there would be chaos. Mexico is to blame if they cross that line not us, because they choose to be responsible for the Central Americans when they let them into their country. They blame the U.S. for it's problems and Immigration crisis however the country is corrupt, violent, and irresponsible. Many people are angry because most immigrants don't appreciate that the U.S. has taken their differences in and gave them a home. These Immigrants are still arguing for more immigration and not pointing out the real problem. The U.S. is getting taken advantage of and we need a leader who can point out the problems. Trump does do a Great Job pointing them out however he can't fix anything. If Mexico doesn't want to acknowledge the U.S.'s boundaries, then they should pay for more Border Portal Agents so that we can enforce the law ourselves. I Disagree with the idea of a wall but we do need to level up our border security.]]> 2018-11-15 17:27:11 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/304921428 2904792 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305022947 I disagree and agree, Mexico shouldn't pay for the wall because Donald Trump is the one insisting to build it and he's the one that doesn't want immigrants to come in. But then I also agree because Mexico's people are the ones getting in across the border. Overall United States is the land for the immigrants and they should let immigrants in but make sure criminals or drug dealers don't enter because that'll make the US an unsafe country. ]]> 2018-11-15 20:35:53 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305022947 2904831 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305454763 I think what the American Dream is that when everybody is able to live in peace. ]]> 2018-11-16 20:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305454763 2888633 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305454865 The American Dream is being able to live a good or better life and having the right to believe whatever you want as well as having the same opportunities others get. ]]> 2018-11-16 20:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305454865 2930601 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305455004 i think an american dream is accomplish your goals and have a better life and a good education and to have rights ]]> 2018-11-16 20:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305455004 2890941 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305455497 The American Dream is coming into America and seeking a better life.

It's being able to provide for yourself and your family. I think the USA doesn't necessarily need a wall but maybe we need better security. The idea to keep criminals out is a good one but not everyone who is fleeing from their country is a criminal. I feel like if Trump wants to keep immigrants out there should be a way to provide easier citizenship since the standards for obtaining citizenship is lengthy. The notion of wanting Mexico to pay for the wall is ridiculous since it's very obvious Mexico will not want to pay for something they don't need. I don't agree with the wall because it could also very well be keeping people in rather than keeping people out. ]]> 2018-11-16 20:46:23 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305456543 2920548 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305457504 The American Dream is a perspective way on how people want to live and better their lives and themselves.

I believe our border does need some improvements but he shouldn't make Mexico pay for it. In our southern border we have lots of problems of the Mexican Cartels smuggling in drugs which Mexico is trying to fight against. Since Mexico is putting a lot of resources into fighting these gangs they most likely will not have the money to pay for a wall that stretches over 2000 miles. ]]> 2018-11-16 20:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305457802 2904831 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305458193 I honestly think that the wall isn't going to do much. Sooner or later, people are going to find new ways to cross the border. There is already a border but it really isn't doing much. And he wants to make Mexico pay for it, but who wants the wall. Trump. So he should pay a certain percentage. ]]> 2018-11-16 20:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305458193 2891727 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/305458669 I disagree with Donald Trump. If he wants to build walls and says he'll build them expensively he shouldn't make Mexico pay for it. There are other alternatives. He can get a stronger force to be at the border and keep people from coming into the U.S. illegally. Without the police force people will find ways to cross the border and that can be very dangerous for many of the people crossing, especially women and children.

Of course, inherent to this freedom is the assumption that these improvements will provide a better quality of life. In other words, the so called “good-life,” which is usually romanticized as a happy family complete with a house in the suburbs, swimming pool, a white picket fence, 2 children and a dog sleeping in the driveway. However, it would seem that for many people, this “ideal” of the American Dream is not as readily available as it was to past generations.

It is very significant to the novel because it's showing us how the lower class people are seen. So, this quote is basically showing us how the immigrants are seen by the citizens. When people think of immigrants they think they're dirty and miserable just like the quotes says.

In the novel we see two different sides of how the individual is living. While Delaney is part of the upper class, Candido is considered to be lower class because of the circumstances he's living in.

This quote could be describing how Candido feels others would see him if he were to go to a hospital they'd probably put them in jail or deport them or something, since many people would see them a different way just because they come from Mexico and see them as some sort of criminal when they're not.

The quote is referring to someone as a non-human just because of their way of living.  This quote shows how people with a good life think they're better than the ones that have less money. For example, when Delaney told his wife that he hit a person, he referred to Candido as a "Mexican".

The quote is showing the perspective of an ignorant person like Delaney who did such action as to only helping out Candido with $20 knowing that he was very hurt due to the accident. Delaney just says "Oh it was a Mexican" when he was talking about the accident as if Candido was non-human or sub-human. ]]> 2018-11-28 19:53:51 UTC https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/309019661 2894763 https://padlet.com/SUSD/rundoydfg9xh/wish/309031287 I believe that this quote is significant to the novel in the way that it's giving the reader an understanding of why Delaney's thoughts towards the way Candido lives are non-human.
