What this debate covers

“Should Countries Have Open Borders?” (“¿Deberían los países tener fronteras abiertas?” in Spanish) is a two-sided Spanish debate on politics — both arguments written out in full. Valentina and Diego debate whether open borders would create a fairer world — or whether immigration controls are necessary to protect citizens.

Each side is written at three levels — A2 Foundations, B1 Intermediate and B2 Advanced — with a one-tap English translation, the argument vocabulary you need to reuse, and discussion questions to take into conversation.
