This article is written by Curt Mills. Mills is a writer for U.S. News and World Report. The article is about recent beef between President Trump and the Mexican government. The beef is over law enforcement, border control, immigration, and trade. The U.S. is sending Rex Tillerson and John Kelly as diplomats to handle the conflict.
Our curriculum spends time talking about foreign policy and that is what this article is all about. This article also has to do with the recent sharp contrast in public opinion and public policy. Trump is looking to implement policies such as a wall along our border and plans on deporting illegal immigrants in a very harsh way. Now there are many who favor Trumps policies, but recent polls have shown sharp decreases in support of his desired implementations.
I personally favor Trumps stricter stance on immigration, but I think he needs to be careful with his tendency to be so abrupt. It is very important for us as a nation to maintain good relations with Mexico, primarily because of trade. I think the wall is a great idea and that if done right it can be put up without much conflict, but heavy deportation will almost certainly result in conflict. Mexico does not want to see a sudden surge of deportees into their country at one time. America can not try to avoid hurting Mexico's feeling, but we have to make sure we find a balance when it comes to doing what is best for our country.
