Activity 3: Mass Migration
The current President of the United States of America (U.S.A.) is a man named Donald Trump. He was elected President in 2016. At the time, he promised the American people that he would build a wall between the U.S.A. and Mexico - the country immediately south of the United States. He made this promise because he wanted to stop people from crossing the American-Mexican border.
Earlier this year, a migrant caravan (people moving in a large group) came through South and Central America on its way to the Mexican-American border. The people in the caravan were heading to America to find jobs and build a better life for themselves and their families. You can learn more about them in this video.
Donald Trump’s plan to build the wall is very controversial (some people strongly agree with his idea and others strongly disagree).
For this activity, let’s imagine that Donald Trump called you up and asked for your opinion on this controversial issue.
On your blog, please tell us what you think about his plan to build a wall between the USA and Mexico. Is it a good idea or a bad idea? Why do you think so?
My opinion on Donald Trump building a wall between the USA and Mexico is a terrible idea because first of all, I think everyone has every right to travel to where they planned to go, regardless and second of all, is there a reason why Donald Trump wants to build a wall? or since he basically owns America, He thinks he can do anything he desires?. But all I know for certain is that Donald Trump doesn't like Mexicans very much
