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).

I think it is a bad idea that Donald Trump decided to built a wall between USA and Mexico. Because its really selfish. I'm not being mean or something but it is. What if people wants to drive to Mexico or the other way around. Sometimes people might have families that live on the other side or people might come and visit.
