controversial claim: we should build a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border. The implementation of a wall on the U.S-Mexican Border is an adverse decision.

The first reason for this was that The States had just reached a balance between Slave States and Free States and with Texas wanting to be a Slave State they would upset that balance.
