Shocking Unanimous Decision to Shut Down U.S.-Mexico Border

In a shocking unanimous decision, Nation Security Council leaders agreed to shut down the U.S.-Mexico border. This bill, proposed by figures such as the National Security Advisor and the Deputy Legal Advisor, was passed after the committee discussed issues surrounding the southern border and the illegal drugs being trafficked into the United States. Cartels planned to use the threat of the invasion of Texas to cause chaos and allow drugs to flow freely over the border. This was done to aid the U.S. in receiving more time intended to gain better control of the border. This shutdown, however, is temporary and will hopefully be lifted once the U.S. deploys more DEA agents and Marines to the area.

In a quote from the National Security Advisory, “This will be done to tackle the issue of drugs in the United States at the source.” In utilizing more troops to better regulate and combat the drugs being imported into the U.S., not only will it help dissipate the cartel’s presence in the country, but also help with American illegal drug usage levels by bottlenecking the supply to the country. Many ruled in support of this change because it offers a cost-effective solution, allowing the U.S. to mobilize pre-existing DEA agents and marines at the border at little to no extra costs.

Some delegates voiced concerns over this bill being passed. From a statement made by the United States Secretary of State, this bill could potentially hurt the U.S. economically due to the advantages that an open border brings across these two nations. Other opponents of the bill were concerned with the costs of maintaining the increased manpower at the border and the various relocation costs for the families involved.

In short, this bill that was unanimously passed at the National Security Council, shutting down the U.S.-Mexico border, is intended to help increase American control over the border and prepare additional agents and troops. This temporary measure was met with tons of support but still had issues brought by the council, such as the economic costs of relocating these agents and troops as well as the economic losses associated with shutting down free-trade between the border for the U.S. and Mexico.
