Over the past few decades, Mexico has experienced a surge in violence and insecurity due to the rise of cartels and narcotics tracking. this has resulted in a mass exodus of Mexican citizens who are seeking safety and better opportunities elsewhere. Cartels and drug-related violence have plagued Mexico for years, and the government’s efforts to curb these issues have been largely ineffective. As a result, many citizens have felt forced to flee their homes and seek refuge in other countries, particularly the United States. My intentions is to create a warm-welcoming environment towards the families and individuals leaving Mexico who suffered through the tragedies with a great viewing of the site in ‘Shore Acres State Park’ including designs from their culture with outdoor activities in the area.
