Today we were going to have class debate on immigration. There would be no arguing, there would just be us students sharing ideas of what we think about the question that's raised. First off one of the Key Points that I'm answering is "Why do people migrate"? There can be a lot of answers to this questions as this is most caused by the push forces and pull forces. These can be topics such as wealth, health, job opportunity, family, and basically it's just people searching for a better life. There is never no reason for people to migrate. I have learned some things about migration but not to much compared to what  have already known. The thing is that I'm not a politics person so when my classmates started bringing up topics about this different ideas on Trump and news I was just confused because I couldn't put the words together to make sense. I wanted to get involved but I had no clue what to say or what I was thinking about. But there were some classmates that stuck out to me during this debate. One of my fellow students, Colin Westermyer was speaking very strongly about his opinions. He was talking about the news people and how it can easily be fake. And I'm pretty sure he brought up the topic of gang members and why they can be a bad association with migration. Another student, Trent Katen is an obvious Trump supporter (which I am too) that really related his thoughts in favor of Trump but most people didn't enjoy Trent's words while I did. But three major things that I learned from this is: 1. The waiting room located in Mexico. There are obviously a numerous amount of people that are trying to move into the U.S. in hopes of getting a better life. But they can't just automatically get in because there is just too many immigrants. I agree with the waiting room because this country already has too many immigrants and I think it's just the most fair way to deal with it. 2. Protests. I learned that these immigrants can get a little rowdy with being harmful and just getting furious that they can't get in. But this doesn't mean that you can just throw a rock at an officer and hope to get away with it. That is why the man deserved to get shot but ten times is a little over the top. 3. Fake News. I've heard a lot about fake the news ever since Trump was elected into office. I honestly believe in the fake news because they just want the watchers to become anti trump and believe that what they're saying us correct even though it's not. News reporters need to just dish out the news and call it a day, not argue with ti and state their dumb opinions because it is just causing more conflict. Overall I kinda enjoyed this class even though I don't care about politics. I enjoyed listening to my fellow classmates state their opinions on stuff and I hope to do this again in the future.
