ISIS Bombings in Sri Lanka

On Easter Sunday 2019 a suicide bomber targeted and attacked a church leaving 350 people dead. Because the occasion took place at a church on a day so important to Christians, the attack is believed to be targeted towards Christians. The ones who are suspect to the crime have ties to ISIS which puts revenge on the spotlight for the case. Some speculate this behavior is backlash towards the New Zealand Mosque Shootings; however, this is just speculation.

While addressing the situation, President Maithripala Sirisena blames himself partly for the lack of security and notes that big changes will arise soon. There is a big divide of the people and government, many of which blame the president for lack of security.




Questions
Who Do you think is to blame?
What should the President do going forward in regards to the situation?

Migrant Caravan: Mexico Detains Hundreds in Raid

 Mexico has detained appproximatley 400 central american immigrants traveling to the US. Many immigrants including children are fleeing their home countries of el salvador, honduras, and guatemala because there not safe and secure places to live. Mexico is being pressured by the US to detain the 20,000 people trying to migrate. Trump has threatened to shut down the borders if Mexico does not help. People were split of from there families and forced to hide because of the raids. I understand why Mexico has to try and stop these people because the US will not let them in but its a very difficult and sad situation. The US and Mexico have a good relationship so I see why Mexico is doing this.

Questions:

If you were Mexico would you help the US or try and find a different solution for immigrants?

How do you think the US should respond to the immigrants?
