This year US President Donald Trump during his first formal speech to the nation from the Oval Office described the situation along the US-Mexico border to be a great humanitarian crisis and a national threat to the US. During his speech he added that his plan to construct a border wall on the US-Mexico border would be providing a solution.

Some of the statements made by the President are mentioned below:

Trump long back renounced his 2016 campaign pledge that Mexico would be paying for the construction of the wall. However, now he states that Mexico would be indirectly paying for the boundary, because of the possible increase in tax revenue brought about by Trump’s replacement for the North America Free Trade Agreement. However, the new deal hasn’t been endorsed by the Congress, as Democrats have opposed it.

Everyday Customs and Border Patrol agents confront thousands of illegal migrants trying to enter US. It’s exaggerated because as per available data from Customs and Border Protection, a total of 396579 people were arrested by the US Border Patrol in 2018 at the southwest border.

All Americans are being affected by uncontrolled illegal migration. This statement has been doubted as the notion that the illegal immigrants are a strain on economy. It has been found that immigrants whether legal or illegal are less likely to be convicted of crime.

On the request of Democrats it would be steel wall and not a concrete wall. Democrats have always opposed the construction of the concrete wall on the US-Mexico border. However, Democrats have totally opposed the construction of any kind of wall be it a steel or concrete one.

1 in 3 women are sexually assaulted during trek through Mexico. Trump admitted the violence that is faced by the migrants while entering the US. But both facts are a tragic reality.

More Americans will die from drugs this year. Around 58220 Americans have died as a result of Vietnam War. Trump assertion is ambiguous on the matter that drugs come through the US Mexico border and leading to death. Trump’s data doesn’t analyze the deaths between the death caused by the drugs and also death caused by the prescribed drugs.

There are many such important statements which US President made. Hence, one needs to analyze the statements and truth of it before coming to a conclusion.
