Game

Objective: Make it across the U.S- Mexico border without being sent back to Mexico, and then make it to the finish where you become a U.S. citizen.

Rules: There are three players, three game pieces. All players start at Mexico. The youngest player starts and picks a card. The game is just like candy land. Each card has a color, red, blue, yellow or green. If you have one block of a color you move to the next space that is that color. If you get two blocks of a color you can move two of that color block on the board. There are spaces on the board that either help you cross the border or bring you further back. Some even bring you back to Mexico. If you get lucky and land on the special blue piece you get to cross the border early by being smuggled.
They player who gets to the finish first and receives United States citizenship wins the game.

Lesson: This game shows that becoming a United States citizen is not an easy thing to accomplish. You can be deported, run out of money, and even run out of food. The game just gives a few exampled of the difficulties.
