Asylum

Today we found out the answer we questioned yesterday; What is the percentage of international immigrants in the world? Today we finally found the answer to that question. 3% of the worlds population are international migrants. We made sure that this percentage was correct by checking multiple websites by well known organizations and government organizations. We then started talking about modern day politics and its relation to seeking asylum. We talked about how President Trump is trying to stop all immigrants from entering the United States and we voted if we thought he was on the right path to success during his presidency. We finally listened to a podcast explaining asylum more in depth. We learned that America declined Jewish asylum seekers during the Holocaust and they were forced back into Europe. That is where we stopped at the end of class, but hopefully we are able to learn more tomorrow!
