How do we understand immigration patterns and causes from a neutral science-based perspective? Is this possible, why or why not?
For example, in the documentary Which Way Home, how do we explain scientifically why thousands of children and then more recently whole families make the dangerous,

dimensions of scale and history/time? Where and how do we start the story of Honduran or Guatemalan migration?
Knowing what you know about NAFTA from the book and the film, imagine three things that would be different today (good or bad) if opening up movement of people had
remained in the original agreement or added in 2001. Be specific and okay to get creative.
