Critique On Border "Solutions"

I read an article on New York Times about how "Trump's Border 'Solutions' Will Make Things Worse." The author's intended audience is those who are worried about whatever is with immigration. The way that the author constructed the claim is very understanding. The author explains the problem, gives some examples, and proposes a solution. The problem is the proposed wall by President Trump, which makes people scare and causes them to migrate to the U.S. Too much immigration is going on and there could be bigger consequences to that like the author mentions there is a lot being done to prevent a tragedy but diseases are being seen and it won't take long for it to happen. Evidence is photos of many migrants including children being confined in an inadequate place. The wall is encouraging more migration rather than stopping it which was the President's main reason for it. The author says "... No one with a working knowledge of immigration policy believes that closing the border is a solution to the recent surge." Agencies are doing the best they can to keep up with the asylum searching families, but there is so much right now. The solution provided was "... Reforming federal immigration laws and to aid to improve economic conditions in Central America. And most urgently, Congress needs to come up with a more nimble legal framework to address the glut of asylum claims..." This is the author telling what can be done to better things at the border. I agree with the author of this article because of how it was written. It wasn't confusing and I was able to tell that the author was not supporting either side but stating his opinion on the subject.
