Asylum Debate

Today in class we had a debate about Trump and the idea of asylum. I did not say anything in the debate because I personally try to stay away from politics. It will still good to have a debate though even if it was something I did not know much about. There were 2 sides to the debate. One side agreed with Trump's asylum policy and the other disagreed with it. I was neutral in the debate. During this debate we listened to a podcast and commented on certain things that happened during it. We talked about what would happen if someone threw a rock or which immigrants should and should not be able to enter the country. I liked the idea of having a debate but i did not like the topic it was on. I also believe that the podcast was biased. Many of the things they said went against what Trumps policies were which would make you lean in the other direction. I think it was difficult for everyone to speak everything they wanted because you had to call on someone to speak. I like debates where people speak when they want. this meant that some people like Trent didn't get a chance to speak when they really had something good to say. I would say which side i am on but i really want to stay away from politics because they don't affect my everyday life and it causes too many arguments.

  1. Part of this assignment (which you didn't cover) was to list three facts you learned in the debate, and to address one of the four Key Issues. Therefore, 15/20.
