Description



Government officials are complaining about large numbers of illegal immigrants crossing the river to live in our country. They [and other legal residents] are concerned about the fact that these illegal immigrants do not speak the language and that they are perhaps taking jobs and resources away from legal residents. They are violating the laws of the country. Therefore, the government has decided to close the border and construct barriers to illegal immigration [generally by swimming/wading across the river or sneaking in along unprotected border points.] Soldiers will be stationed on the border to keep illegal immigrants out of the country.
