President Trump Says Border Wall Prevented Coronavirus Outbreak
The Border Wall as a pillar in Trump’s presidential campaign
One of the main foundations of Donald Trump’s presidential campaign to win the 2017 elections was the construction of a border wall between the US and Mexico.
The president used the border wall as a strategy to reduce illegal immigration and increase the country’s border security.
Over the past three years, a significant portion of the border wall has been constructed and repaired, however, the president has not yet completed the wall as promised during his presidential campaign.
In fact, the construction of the border wall has generated a lot of controversy in the country because the President has diverted, on several occasions, funds earmarked for social security to continue with his plan.
In addition to that, many areas of the southern border of the US are private and owned by American families. President Trump has attempted to purchase these private properties to make them federal property and to finish building the border wall.
However, it has not always been possible since there are owners who do not agree with the border wall and do not want to sell their properties.
Currently, in the midst of the health crisis caused by the Coronavirus, the president boasts about the positive impact of the border wall.
The president assures the wall mitigates the impact of the pandemic
On June 23, 2020, President Donald Trump made a trip to the border between the US and Mexico located in the southern area of the country.
During this trip, the president assured that the wall prevented a massive outbreak of Coronavirus at the borders and also reduced illegal immigration considerably.
In fact, in a Twitter post, the Trump Team stated: “We prevented a coronavirus catastrophe at the Southern Border”.
The Trump administration plans to build at least 400 miles of border wall by the end of the year, and says this will further protect the southern region of the country.
President Trump argues: “My administration has done more than any administration in the history to secure our southern border. Our border has never been more secure”.
The Trump administration’s plan
It is very possible that Donald Trump will use the border wall again as a key piece of his presidential campaign to win reelection as President of the US.
Trump wants to continue building the wall for the rest of the year so that he can expose the benefits and positive changes in immigration figures during his term.
Furthermore, the figures showing the reduction of illegal immigration during the global pandemic greatly benefit his presidential campaign.
