Fraud in Funds Raised for Trump’s Border Wall
Trump’s border wall
The current president of the US, Donald Trump, has a strong opinion when it comes to immigration, both legal and illegal.
His focus has been primarily the eradication of illegal immigration. To achieve this goal, the Trump administration proposed to finish the construction of the border wall that divides the US from Mexico.
In fact, the border wall was a fundamental piece for his presidential campaign in the 2016 elections, when President Trump promised to finish the wall during his term, which has not been possible due to multiple factors.
The construction of the border wall has been mired in constant controversy because the Trump administration had promised that the investment would come from sources other than government funds. However, in recent years, the current government has diverted funds earmarked for social security to build the border wall.
In addition to that, dozens of environmentalists and activists assure that the wall deeply hurts the ecosystem of the borders, affecting the wildlife of animal and plant species.
Now, President Trump’s former adviser has been arrested for being part of a border wall fraud.

Trump’s former adviser involved in fraud
Trump’s former adviser, Stephen Bannon, was arrested on Thursday, August 20, 2020, for his involvement in a border wall fraud.
Bannon had requested donations from American citizens through the “We Build The Wall” website and had raised funds of more than $25 million.
These funds were supposed to go entirely to the construction of the border wall. However, in a recent investigation, authorities found traces of fraud and discovered that Bannon took more than $1 million from the donations.
What does this represent for the Trump administration and its stance on immigration?
It is important to emphasize that the presidential elections will take place in November 2020 and President Donald Trump is seeking re-election.
Therefore, the fact that one of his main officials is involved in a fraud controversy, while he was active in his position as adviser, could intervene in the elections.
Apart from that, the Trump administration has already received countless criticism for the changes implemented in the immigration sector and this could generate another wave of social controversy.
