Immigration in America: Teen Domestic Trip to Arizona
Our domestic trip this year will be focusing on immigration in America. We will be traveling to Arizona over MLK Weekend 2023. Through conversations with DACA recipients, restaurant owners, non-profit professionals working on the ground with refugees and immigrants, and border patrol agents, we will have the opportunity to learn from individuals who are affected by immigration laws in our country, and meet the people who are enforcing current bans and laws.
