Immigration Podcast

Today in class we talked about immigration as well as speech and discussion. We also listened to part of a pod cast talking about immigration and asylum. We took some notes on the key facts about the pod cast. Here are some of the key things
-Central American people are trying to come to the US
-The trump administration is making it very difficult for them to apply for Asylum
-In 1935 900 jews tried to escape persecution on a boat
-They reached the US and were turned away
-They then had to return to Europe where a big majority of them were killed
-Then in 1951 they agreed to a concept called non reformat which means to not return people to situations that are dangerous and or put their lives in danger
Personally I think that some of these things are horrible and no human being should have to go through this. I believe that it is unfair that the jews were turned away and were sent back to be killed.
