What is the purpose of the new border fence with Mexico?
Is it to keep illegal immigrants out or will it be used in the near future to keep us in? I read that this has just been passed by congress but don’t know when it will actually get built.

One of the main reasons is to stop the illegal trafficking of drugs and people. Many have died by being locked up in an un-airconditioned trailers after paying their life savings for a way into the U.S. Additionally, since Mexico doesn’t take care of its people, running drugs is quite profitable. They can obtain drugs cheaply in Mexico and then sell them here for much more.
Yes, it is to keep illegal aliens out. The steady influx of illegal aliens has driven down wages in the U.S., but because of poor enforcement, there are people living here illegally who have been here since they were babies. Is it fair to deport them now when this is the only home they have known? It is better to keep them out in the first place and force them to enter legally so these deep personal crises do not occur.
