Trump's threat to shut down the border may have some unexpected effects. The U.S. relies heavily on Mexican agriculture, specifically avocados. We would run out of avocados in three weeks after the shut down. Right now, Mexico supplies 100% of American avocados. Trump is saying that there is a very high likely hood that he would close the border by Friday, which would cause billions of dollars.

This article acts as a warning to people about the effects of the shut down. Many people are very emotionally tried to the border, but this article is very factual, showing the actual effect of the wall. The author's tone is very informational.

Trade is a very important part of our economy, and has been from the beginning of our nation. One of the reasons we left Britain was because of their limitation on trade. I think when this issue is stated economically, people may be more reasonable.
