Teaching Guide  Topic: Mass deportations of undocumented immigrants in the agriculture industry.  Host: Matthew Sanchez Guest: Abby Vaquerano and Windy Pinnix  Summary: Undocumented immigrants have recently drawn significant media attention, particularly regarding their impact on the agriculture industry. Opponents of mass deportation, such as Abby Vaquerano, argue that removing these workers would devastate rural communities and the many sectors connected to agriculture, including processing, distribution, and retail. On the other hand, Windy Pinnix contends that immigration enforcement is necessary to maintain a transparent and legally compliant workforce and that although the agriculture sector is reliant on these workers, automation can help to fill the void.  Objectives: 1. While listening to the podcast students will outline the differing viewpoints of Abby Vaquerano and Windy Pinnix by providing at least two arguments from each guest. 2. After listening to the podcast students will examine which states would be most affected by mass deportations by providing how many undocumented workers are in the state and what specific fields of agriculture they are being utilized in. 3. After listening to the podcast students will justify the perspective that they disagree with by describing why they disagree with it and finding two pieces of information that support the opposing view. Pre-listening Questions (open-ended- formative) 1. How much of the agricultural labor force do you think is made up of undocumented immigrants? 2. Are undocumented workers a topic of discussion in your communities, if so how? If not why do you think that they are a topic of discussion? 3. What alternatives do you think there are to undocumented workers in agriculture?  Guided Questions 1. Short answer: How long has Mrs. Windy Pinnix been teaching agriculture?   2. Fill in the Blank: How many agricultural workers are undocumented?   Roughly                       or about                        agricultural workers are undocumented.  3. Multiple choice: What does Mrs. Abby Vaquerano believe would be a policy solution to fill a void if mass deportations were to happen? A. Automation of agricultural jobs  B. A spike in domestic labor  C. An expansion in the H-2A visa program D. Current policy is sufficient to handle this problem  4. Short Answer: What industry did Mrs. Abby Vaquerano mention was also heavily reliant on undocumented labor?   5. Multiple choice: What did Mrs. Windy Pinnix say she expectes the next decade of American agriculture to look like? A. Automation of agricultural labor  B. A spike in domestic labor  C. an expansion in the H-2A visa program  D. With many farm consolidations            Post-listening Questions 1. Summarize the two differing viewpoints and provide two claims made by both sides to support their argument.    2. Using the internet, research which three states would be most affected by mass deportations by providing how many undocumented workers are in the state and what specific fields of agriculture they are being utilized in. Use and cite multiple sources of research.  State:  Field:    State:  Field:  State:  Field:  3. Identify which viewpoint you disagree with and describe why you disagree with it. Then, using the internet, find two pieces of information that support the opposing view. Use and cite multiple sources of research. Rubric  Level 1- student answers questions without justification or evidence/ student does not cite what sources were used - 1 pt Level 2- student answers questions with only one piece of evidence per question/ student only cites 1 source for each question - 2 pt Level 3- Student answers questions with full information required and has at least two sources per question - 3 pt (points are aligned based on how they answer the post listening questions- for all 3 questions)
