Description	Directions: Read the summary, watch the video and then answer the discussion questions. Your students may find it helpful to follow along using the transcript. Summary: The Marshall Islands is a Pacific archipelago of coral atolls midway between Hawaii and Australia. In recent years, one third of the Marshall Islands’ population has moved to the U.S., leaving a country reeling from high unemployment, poverty and the looming effects of climate change. The Marshallese community currently numbers around 30,000. Citizens of the Marshall Islands can live and work in the U.S. without visas and work permits based on a 1986 law called the Compact of Free Association, or COFA. Special Correspondent Mike Taibbi reports from the Marshall Islands and Salem, Oregon, where he talks with migrants about what it is like moving thousands of miles away to a new home.
