What happened to our government?

By F. Rivera

Where has it gone? Our society. Our country. Also our life and our voice in what affects our lives.I know that only a few people understand about what I am referring to. All of this has to deal withour government and people only caring about themselves. Imagine it. Because of you only caring about yourself people decide to elect a near-dictator for president and allow our government to turn its back on the people.

It all started out when the people of these United States elected a man called George W. Bush. You missed out on many great things for this country. Al Gore could of been one of the greatest presidents America could have ever elected. At least he would have done something about global warming and he would not have brought us into war. Second we went to war for one reason that was not 9/11. Bush made up a fake reason (Iraq is building dangerous bombs) when it was really to get there petroleum. After two years we finally go after a good reason: Osama bin Ladin. Yet, Bin Ladin and Iraq have nothing to do with each other.

Now the government is now aiming all of their troubles to the immigrants. They are building a bigger wall for the border and making it so no immigrants could get past. Soldiers, cameras and immigration officials are all around. The government is sending immigration to jobs to find the people who are in this country illegally. Yet people forget America this country was made out of immigrants. Most of our countries population are made out of immigrants – or at least their family was immigrants. Not so long ago there was a law to let the immigrants who have been working here for a long period of time to try to get legalized with papers but because no one cared they did not know that those kind of people are a big part of these United States. What is wrong of coming back to a country that was ounce theirs.

Now you know what has happened in our country so far. Our voice hasn't been heard because no one has said anything. People have to step up and think what will make our country better. You need to stop thinking what other people say what right and wrong is. You need to know what is right and wrong from your view. Your voice will be heard just make sure that it you say something. Those are the places our things have gone to. Remember that your voice will be heard but make sure you say something and you make it be heard.

The point of all this news is that people need to care about what is happening in there lives. Don't simply care about yourselves. Remember your voice will be heard, but make sure you say something.
