Q First, check out this interactive map documenting the migration of refugees coming into Europe a few years ago: http://www.citylab.com/housing/2015/10/mapping-the-frenzy-of-the-europes-migrant-crisis/412396/. Then share with the class some interesting trend that you noticed. Next, consider this proposition for debate: More-developed countries have no right to restrict immigration from less-developed countries. Discuss some reasons WHY someone would or would not make this argument (you don't need to make a stand on this heated issue yourself). Also, this is a cool interactive map related to this week's topic which shows the immigrant and emigrant populations by country of origin and destination. http://www.migrationpolicy.org/programs/data-hub/charts/international-migrant-population-country-origin-and-destination

After reviewing the interactive map, one interesting trend noticed by me is the number of soccer fields which can be filled by the number of Syrian refugees migrating to Europe. This implies that the political situation of Syria is problematic putting the lives of the Syrian citizens at stake.
