At the beginning of the class we had 15 minutes to work on either our presentation or our map. Notes Aiding Refugees, The president is committed to maintaining a refugee admissions program and having it to where everyone knows the challenges they have to go through to be a citizen. The first thing he wants to do is support federal grant programs which are people who hand out money, they also want to make sure they have food. The second is improving refugee health by increasing medical screening to check if people have any diseases and so that if they do we can catch it right away instead of other people catching it too. They are also having new mental health resources to help people get over trauma they went through. Also he is making sure that the disabled people coming in have the same rights that everyone else has. Providing greater protections for farm workers and their families. They have a program for temporary workers coming up into the U.S and working for farmers and it is called the H-2A temporary agricultural. This is a program that makes sure that these temporary workers that are coming up are safe and that they get food. It is also to help the employers with grants. There is also another program called the  H-2A Ombudsman Program which helps out the worker and the employer if they get into an argument someone there can help them figure it out. Providing New Tools to Prepare Applicants for Citizenship. In this the president has launched a new Citizenship resource center so that everyone wanting to come to the U.S know where to go and how to get there. The next thing is the grant program that was created for people who are becoming citizens. Another thing is that we are making a military personnel so that people from different countries that are in the military it is easier for them to become a citizen. Also the next thing is the president launched a nationwide initiative so that when people come into the united states to become a citizen people don't scam them and try to go after them and get money out of them 

The next thing in class that we talked about is the government shutting down next week or supposed to be any way. They spend more money than they bring in and they need to borrow money from another country.
