This week we will concentrate on finding harms (or problems) with United States policies towards Mexico. Our main question is: How does the United States harm Mexico and how does Mexico harm the United States? On Friday for our FIRST thing, many of you talked about different harms you have noticed in the current system. Several people commented on illegal immigration, smuggling, language barriers and the border wall.

By Monday, you should post your opinion about the problems of the US-Mexican border (200 words). You may need to research in order to develop your opinion. If you are having trouble finding harms, please comment back to me on this post or email me.

Looking ahead to the week, we will be reviewing our ideas about San Diego and Tijuana, the differences between Mexico and the United States, and beginning to develop our first Affirmative cases. On Friday, you will also host our first Literature Circle on the book Breaking Through. Be sure to read pages 1-47 so that you can be prepared to discuss the book with your group. Keep checking this blog for more updates!

See you soon.
