From Retro Report in the Classroom

This ten-minute video compares the recent U.S. settlement of Afghan and Ukrainian migrants to the 1975 United States evacuation and resettlement of 130,000 of its South Vietnamese allies. Students examine:

How has U.S. immigration policy changed over time?
What factors have led to policy changes? What effects have come from those changes?
What obligation does the United States have to refugees fleeing war-torn countries?

Students:

Examine U.S. immigration policy at several points in history.
Analyze the change in immigration policy over time, and evaluate the effects of policy changes.
Compare and contrast patterns of immigration and make generalizations from available data.
Formulate an argument about U.S. immigration policy.
