Today in class we listened to a podcast and took notes. I was looking on the the calendar on the side board and saw that we have a test next week about migration which is nice to know that a good amount of time before. The notes that I took are below.
- Trump is making it harder for people to get an asylum
- The people who had not applied properly to get into the US were not allowed in
- 900 jews in 1939 tried go to the US but got turned away and ended up being killed as result of the US's actions
- Non Reforma means not returning
- That was discussed at a 1951 United Nations meeting
- Persecution is based on race, religion, nationality, political beliefs and social groups
- Domestic violence could be another reason for people to come to the United States (under Obama)
- gang violence, terrorism, being gay are reasons to ask for an asylum
- 50,000 people are asking for asylum which created a surge during the time when Obama was president
All in all today's class went ok. I rather take notes off the board with a powerpoint then listen to a podcast because I just learn better that way. But at least we are closer to Christmas which I will be happy about once we get past exams.
