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).
Is it a good idea or bad idea?
It is a bad idea to build a wall because Mexican people probably want to have a better future or they want to find a job and a better life.
Why do you think so ?
Some Mexican people want to have a better life or find a job so they can provide for their children.
Kia Ora Sione,
ReplyDeleteI really love your reasons on why it is a bad idea to build a wall and I definitely agree with you, some people do move to other places to have a better life or have a better future.
What if you had to walk to the USA? Would you like it?
