Abstract

President Donald Trump since the presidential campaign has echoed the idea of building border wall. This wall aims at reducing the number of illegal migrants who arrive in the United States by crossing the US – Mexico border land. The idea of wall reaps to public criticism both in national and international. Trump’s border wall is seen as ineffective. It rather creates the image of US of having exclusive development. Regarding Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this policy hampers the implementation of SDGs related to migration, labor market security, women and children protection, decent and peaceful societies, and global partnership. This discussion paper explores Trump’s policy in the framework of SDGs and analyze the case with two relevant theories: globalization and dual labor market.
