Today in class, we discussed a little bit more about the podcast and listened to more of it as well. Some notes that I recorded on the podcast was that just after 2009, the United States granted domestic violence as a type of asylum. Overtime, courts were granting people asylum because of sexuality, terrorism, etc. There was an increase of over 1700 percent in immigration! The U.S has taken people in (granted asylum) m for over 200 years! At one point in time, the United States only accepted 30 people a day, this was a very difficult time in U.S history to handle. People were probably very frustrated to have to wait the least of five weeks to a month to be granted asylum. That is mostly all we talked about today, I think Mr. Schick announced that he will be having a debate set up for us! I think that'll be a really fun expereince for the students to interact with. As long as you have important notes and facts about the topic, you will probably end up winning the debate.
