Can a wall hold back Mexican obsessions? The United States spends $10 billion on "water drifting"
As we all know, immigration has always been a hot topic in the world, but for Western countries, it has always been plagued by "illegal immigration". In the author's understanding, there are several countries in the Western world that are too advanced in development, so they have become the places of longing for the people of the surrounding small countries. I don't know if you remember how many Afghan refugees went directly to the plane to flee to the richest country in the world when the last U.S. military personnel in Afghanistan were evacuated, although this is a farce, it shows the most real problem.
Next, I would like to share a more funny thing for you, during the reign of the former president of the United States, I think everyone knows the "America First" strategy he pursues. So the United States directly came up with the idea of preventing Mexicans from entering the United States at will, that is, to build a building similar to the "Great Wall", which is the so-called separation wall. It was a relatively vast project, when the United States spent $10 billion to build a very high and 160-kilometer-long wall, when the president declared: "This wall is the safest defensive wall in the world, and no one can cross it."
But the truth is that such rhetoric was easily broken by the Mexicans. Just when the Americans thought they were "at ease," border police captured Mexicans in southwest Texas who had fallen over from the defense wall. To ask them what method they used, it was actually a "hook ladder" that only cost $5 to buy. At this time, the Americans found that the original defensive wall was not equipped with a device that could prevent people from climbing over, such as barbed wire and so on.
In other words, unless there is a patrol every few meters, it is a fool's dream to try to block illegal immigration with just one wall. Even if there is a device to prevent overturning, there will still be people who are happy to do it, because even if they take a life, they must try for the obsession in their hearts. The per capita GDP of the United States is more than 60,000 US dollars, and Mexico is only a few thousand US dollars, and in the minds of many Mexicans, as long as they turn over, they are rich!
Of course, when it comes to illegal immigration, the author believes that Western countries have not grasped the center of gravity, and to put it bluntly, it is caused by improper state management. Imagine, if there are illegal immigrants who enter the country, they can't find any living space, no business dares to use these people, they don't even have a place to live, and in the end they don't obediently go back? In fact, this is the main reason why it is difficult for Western countries to change this aspect of the problem, I don't know how everyone views this matter?
