   I agree with most of the arguments stated in the essay “What to say when your neighbor comes over uninvited?” First of all I am also a firm believer that building a wall is not the approach we need to stop illegal immigration. Also that it has been proven that there are many factors such as environmental, territorial, and many others that make it practically impossible for a wall to be built. Perhaps in regions like the desert area in Arizona it could be easier but in areas like the Big Bend it would be almost impossible. Particularly here in Texas it would be catastrophic to put a wall where the Rio Grande is.

   I coincide that a wall is not the solution for this problem and the wall that’s already built in Arizona and California is proof of this. People are still crossing the boarder despite the fact that there has been a wall there for many years. In conclusion I agree that the wall won’t solve this issue.

   As she says, the US government should have a different approach. For example, the US should work hand in hand with the Mexican government to stop the illegal immigration that’s happening in the southern border of Mexico. The real issue here is the lack of control of the immigration from countries from Central America into Mexico and then into the United States. Also as this article says a national database of authentic citizenship might be a good idea and also making background checks. Citizenship should be obtained after an in-depth investigation to ensure that people don’t have a criminal record, drug use, and etcetera.
