Government | Challenge

Brief

Why are so many people interested in coming to America? What is it about our
country and our government makes people want to move to our country? Why does
freedom matter? Read the words to this poem. (excerpt from Theyre Coming to
America by Neil Diamond)
Far,
We've been traveling far
Without a home
But not without a star
Free,
Only want to be free
We huddle close
Hang on to a dream
On the boats and on the planes
They're coming to America
Never looking back again,
They're coming to America
