Activity 3: Mass Migration

It is a bad thing to build a wall between the U.S.A and Mexico. It's very hard for people walking thousands of kilometers hoping to reach the US border.

Hundreds of people have to travel large distances and across borders but it's really dangerous for the people walking especially the kids, a lot got sick and injured from traveling so long.

For this activity, we learned about Donald Trump, the current president of the United States of America. Donald Trump promised the American people that he would a wall between the United States of America and Mexico to stop people from crossing over the American-Mexican border.
