New Materials for Teaching About Diversity Immigrants

There are many new materials to utilize in teaching about Diversity Immigrants this semester. I plan to start with this clip from the president (0:29-0:57).

This tweet is another gem to utilize:

I’ll combine the above video clip with a walk-through of INA 203(c)(F)(2), outlining the criteria that noncitizens must satisfy to qualify for the program. We’ll talk about the odds of winning a diversity visa, using this chart based on 2012 data. And we’ll talk about who has actually come to the US on this program over the past 20 years, looking at charts from this 2016 Quartz article. We’ll conclude with a policy discussion about the pros and cons of the diversity program.
