About the Topic
Migration to the U.S. is a very complicated topic. It is the result of a world on the move. In the face of climate change, civil unrest, violence and hunger, tens of thousands of migrants from Africa and Asia attempt to migrate using the same treacherous route each year through South and Central America trying to reach the U.S.-Mexico border with hopes of gaining entry to The United States. How can we address this as a nation and as a world and find a solution that works for everyone?
