Families separated

We have another suggestion to build a bigger barrier between the Mexico and United States border. I believe it is just a big waste of money for everyone over here. We have a lot of other bigger problems in the United States that can be fixed with that money that they want to spend on a fence that is not going to prevent anything. First of all they want to make it a few feet high any one can get over that little fence, and what workers will be building that fence? Most likely the Mexicans will be the ones paid to make to build the fence that’s meant for them not to cross over to the United States. In the article they say it’s to “taper transportation of illegal drugs manufactured in Latin America and illegal immigration.” In a way yes it is good that they are thinking about helping stop the drugs but a fence is not going to prevent drugs. Drugs are everywhere they can still provide them in the United States.  The new fence won’t help at all it will “destroy animal habitat prevent animals from reaching water, disturb animal migration patterns, and otherwise damage the environment.” Like said in the Mexico-United States barrier article, it’s just going to damage in a lot of different ways. But even after all of the damages in the article they tell us that “Americans favored building a fence along the U.S border with Mexico, with 68 percent in favor and 21 percent against.”
What I believe is the worst part, is knowing people get payed to deport someone. If someone calls to give information about an illegal immigrant they get payed that is just the worst its humiliating to know this kind of things exist. I just can’t believe someone would call and get someone else deported to get just a couple of dollars, and knowing they will most likely be destroying a family. The families are separated; people get deported and leave their family on their own. If the parents are illegal but the children are legal then the children stay in the United States but the parents get deported. The children are lucky if they have other family members that can take care of them otherwise they are left behind alone. The children get sent to foster homes with strangers and get separated from their other siblings. None of this sounds like it helps the United States, we have families that are separated and children living on their own. Who ends up taking care of these children if they have no other family? The United States government will spend even more money having to raise these children that are all alone. No one ends up happy the children are sad as well as the parents and the government is spending more money on this lonely children. No one is and no one will be winning with this cruelty.
