My America

I hear America is a land of opportunities; immigrants such as my parents have come because of that saying, in my opinion, I believe that saying is not true. I’ve seen that with both my parents and some family members. True they are immigrants, but why can’t they get a job? Is it because they are Mexican? Or because they do not speak English fluently? I believe everyone should have an opportunity to work. Langston Hughes mentioned in “My America” the things other people may do and he can’t, all of those mentioned also go to Mexican-Americans.
Even though I live in this country, and I was born in this country, I can say that I don’t really like it. In America we have a lot of discrimination, prejudice, hatred, corruption, and many races are made a minority, especially Mexican-Americans and African-Americans. When I watch the news, which to say the truth is rarely, there is always news of people doing bad things, which make American as a whole look bad. Even our president makes America look bad, I wouldn’t in detail about that because saying the bad truths about him is a bad thing in this country. What ever happened to freedom of speech?
