How will these resources help you?

In the run up to the Trump administration, the US–Mexican border became centre-stage in a flagship policy in Trump’s promise to ‘Build a Wall’. What struck me while researching this topic were the extreme levels of poverty in Mexico, far beyond my perceptions, and giving rise to the push and pull factors that lead people to risk everything in search of a better life. An ideal case study for students from KS3-5 when studying migration. These resources help make sense of the motives, and the demographics of those that make it, and the harsh lives of those that don’t. As well as statistics, real-life stories of people behind the headlines are examined from the points of view of all involved in this desert border between poverty and wealth.
