Today was a very simple class and there really isn't much to blog about. Mr Schick wasn't here today so we had a sub. We started off in Mr. Schicks room but then everyone was too cold so we moved to our sub's room. We had three people that had to make up the test that they missed and everyone else was instructed to work on our exam essays. I finished my first essay on Option A which means that tomorrow I have to do my second essay, just in time for me to turn them in Friday morning. So really not much happened in Human Geo today because we didn't really communicate with each other at all because we were all trying to get our essays done in class so we didn't have to do them at home.

Today we took our test on migration. And I do have to say that I found it pretty easy. There were some questions that I had to think about for a couple minutes but I really just used common sense and knowledge of this lesson to get the answer I thought was right. The first part of the test was all matching with a word bank and it was basically a bunch of important terms from this unit. I didn't take too long on this part but I had to fill in all the easy terms that I knew were right before I filled in the harder terms that I wasn't so sure about. But once I got the easy terms out the way I knew that I had gotten the harder terms right. Today we have a Christmas mass service which means our class would be just shortened by 5 minutes. But tonight I am supposed to write my first essay of two and I think my first essay tonight going to be on the first topic which is to pick three different nations and the problems that they have regarding population and migration and what the nation's leader has to do about it.

Today we started off our class by taking some new notes on migration. But before we did that we talked about the two essays that are due this Friday. I forgot that he put up a blog on the available topics and the instructions on what to do. But when he asked who actually started their blogs no one raised their hands so that makes me feel a little better about myself. My plans for this week are to try and get all my blogs done during school and then do my first essay tonight and then do my second essay tomorrow night. Here are some of the important notes that I took. Mexico's border with the United States and the view from the U.S. recognizes motives that compel unauthorized immigrants to enter illegally because of employment opportunities, family reunification, and a better way of life. The border needs to have a workplace and border patrol. Immigration concerns in Europe consist fo many countries leaving the country du veto better life in other countries such as the U.S. Many people left Europe around the 19th century.

Today was a note taking class so the class went by fairly quick and I didn't find it boring today. We talked about migrants and the challenges they face and took notes on it. Countries have adopted selective immigration policies. The passing of the Quota Act in 1921 and the National Origins Act in 1924 by the U.S. Congress marked the end of unrestricted immigration to the U.S. More seek admission to the U.S. than is permitted by to quotas, thus preferences are shown toward: Family reunification, Skilled workers, and Diversity. Unauthorized immigrants are those who enter a country without proper documents. Characteristics of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. include Source Country (roughly 58% emigrate from Mexico), Children (of estimated 11.2 million unauthorized immigrants, nearly 1 million are children), Years in the U.S. (Duration of residency has increased for unauthorized immigrants and in 2010, 35 percent of adults had been in U.S. for at least 15 years), Labor Force (approximately 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed in the U.S.), and Distribution (Texas and California have largest number of unauthorized immigrants).

Today we started class off by talking about the exams. We talked about when we would take our human geo exam along with the two essays we will have to write. There will be four different topics to choose from but we only have to write two of our choice. These two essays will be due next Friday which is the last day of school before exams. We then received a packet which we would have to find the important facts out of and then put them in our blog. Here are some of the points I got. The U.N. classifies countries according to four types of immigration policies: 1. maintain the current level of immigration 2. increase the level 3. reduce the level 4. no policy. 21 countries seek more immigrants, 32 want fewer immigrants, 116 wish to maintain then current level, 25 do not have a policy. The number of people trying to immigrate into the U.S. is at an all time high. People who enter without proper documents are known as unauthorized immigrants. Undocumented immigrants re different because they are the people who want more rights for themselves and this is the term they think is right.

Today Mr. Schick wasn't here so we had Mr. Blair come and sub for us as we did our sub work that Mr. Schick emailed us. We were told to read 84-85 in the article and take notes on these pages. Here are the notes. About 80 million people migrated to the U.S. between 1820 and 2015. There were three main eras fo immigration. 1. Colonial settlement in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. 2. Mass European immigration in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. 3. Asian and Latin American immigration in the late twentieth and early twenty first centuries. Immigration to the American colonies and the newly independent United States came from two principal places: Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa. Most of those Africans were forced to migrate as slaves. Migration from Europe to the United States peaked at several points during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries: 1840's and 1850's (Ireland and Germany), 1870's (Ireland and Germany), 1880's (Scandinavia), 1905-1914 (Southern and Eastern Europe). More than three fourths of the recent U.S. immigrants have emigrated from two regions: Latin America and Asia.
