THERE ARE MANY REASONSFOR THIS FLOW

OF PEOPLE, AND MANY ISSUESTHAT WE HAVE TO

DEAL WITH

SOME SAMPLE QUESTIONS

THAT WE NEED TOANSWER IN ORDERTO UNDERSTAND:

• WHY DO THEY COME AND WHY ARE THEY HERE? SINCE WHEN?

• HOW DO THEY GET HERE?

• WHAT IS THEIR SITUATION?

• WHAT IS THE HISTORYOF THIS MOVEMENT OF

PEOPLE FROM MEXICO TO THE U.S.?

SEVERAL ISSUES BEING DEBATED:

AMNESTY?

DEPORTATION?

BORDER FENCE?

BORDER PATROLS?

IS THERE A TERRORIST THREAT?

IS THERE AN ECONOMIC BURDEN?

DRIVER’S LICENSES?

THE MAP WE JUST SAW ONLY TELLSUS HOW MANY RESIDENTS

IDENTIFY THEMSELVES AS HAVING MEXICAN ORIGIN OR ANCESTRY,NOT NECESSARILY WHICH ONES ARE LEGAL RESIDENTS, BUT …

IT DOES INDICATE WHERE THE POPULATION OF MEXICAN ANCESTRY MOSTLY RESIDES

WHY WOULD THEY BE THERE?

ARE THERE LINKS TO THE ONGOING FLOW?

THIS OTHER MAP ONLY TELLS US IN WHICH STATES THERE ARE

RESIDENTS WHO CLAIM MEXICAN ETHNICITY

IS THERE CORRELATION BETWEEN BOTH MAPS, OR DOES

THE SECOND MAP SUGGEST SOMETHING DIFFERENT?

LOOK AGAIN …

THE PREVIOUS MAP SHOWS THE FLOW OF MONEY

BACK TO MEXICO FROM THE MANYIMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES

IN THE U.S.IT ALSO TELLS US WHERE MONEY

GOES TO MEXICO.

IS THERE ANY CORRELATION BETWEEN THIS MAP AND THE

OTHER MAPS?

WHAT DOES THE MAP TELL USABOUT MEXICO?

LOOK AGAIN …

AND YES, WE DO HAVE A BORDER FENCE.

IS THAT THE BEST WAY TO KEEP “UNWANTED” PEOPLE OUT?

WHO DECIDES WHAT IS UNWANTED? HOW?

IS IT WORKING?

TAKE A LOOK:

AND YES, WE DO HAVE A BORDER FENCE.

IS THAT THE BEST WAY TO KEEP UNWANTED PEOPLE OUT?

WHO DECIDES WHAT IS UNWANTED? HOW?

IS IT WORKING?

TAKE A LOOK:

WE WILL TACKLE ALL OF THESE ISSUES AND MANY MORE!

OUR GUIDING QUESTION WILL BE: WHAT SHOULD U.S. POLICY BE REGARDING

IMMIGRATION FROM MEXICO?

OUR FINAL PRODUCT WILL BE A 5 PARAGRAPH PERSUASIVE ESSAYTHAT WILL REFLECT THE RESULTS

OF THE RESEARCH WE DO
