‘Trump's wall will not stop immigration from Mexico’
US President Donald Trump’s planned wall along the United States’ border with Mexico will not stop the flow of immigrants coming in from that border to America, says a commentator.
In an interview with Press TV on Sunday, Lawrence Davidson, a professor at the West Chester University, said, “If the wall is built — hypothetically, it certainly will slow down the rate of people crossing the border; however, it won’t stop it.”
He said US meddling in Central America over a time span of 100 years was the reason why many people were migrating in the first place.
“We really created, over a 100-year period, the conditions for why these people now want to leave Central America,” he said.
Trump has recently threatened to close the US’s southern border if Congress does not agree to provide $5.7 billion for his wall along the border with Mexico.
