What is an American?

An American is someone who usually is born within the borders of the USA or gets a green card. For me an American is a person who works to earn enough money to barely get food. An American is also a person who has to fight everyday to get enough money to put a roof over their families had and barely has enough to get some food. Some Americans have lived here for more than sixteen years and are never recognized not even in death. The real Americans are discriminated and hated upon.
The people who are the worst mouthed and the ones who are considered to the most dangerous or dumb because they have the most high dropout rate. It’s funny how they don’t consider people from Central America, and South America, Americans. I consider that Americans are people who were born in the Americas even though they have to do a lot just to help their families back in their own countries. Americans are people who live in the United States and work really hard to make a living. Their also people who have double jobs to maintain their kids, home, and get something descent to eat.
It’s funny how people can hate the people who work their lands so they can have money and pay them less or minimum wage. Their people who work for rich people who treat them like they were dogs and also wish they would leave. I can’t understand why “Americans” say that immigrants are taking their jobs when immigrants are doing the dirty job that the Americans don’t want to do. Their also doing for less and it’s not fair for them to try to close the border when the more than half of the people that come here to supposedly make a better living have a house or better yet be treated equally. They come with that dream their chasing a freedom that doesn’t exist for them. It only exists for people who have fought in a war or if they have money or are involve with the army.
Immigrants are people who come from a place that they barely have enough to eat and have to live in horrible conditions. Immigrants aren’t really immigrants because they are just like the people who came here and took over the lands. It hard to believe that a country that supposedly is friendly and is the richest because of hard workers like immigrants there’s a lot of discrimination and hatred against all of their minority. Most Americans are nice and understand what immigrants go through. Those are Americans who care about other people besides themselves. A real American comes from a tribe like the Cherokees or the Navajo. They weren’t pilgrims and they’ll never be. Those were people who gave them diseases and caused them death or pain.
The people who discriminate or hate other races that aren’t their own are very stupid and don’t know nothing about their past. The people we call Americans are people who stole someone else’s land in some point or killed people or stole form them they are people who shouldn’t be called Americans but no one says nothing about that because people pretend not to care. It’s very hard for a daughter of an immigrant like me to have hope when all you hear on the news is how much they want for immigrants to leave. It’s funny because the people who are more likely to not vote are the people who are the most targeted when a person running for something wants their vote. They use the people to later dispose of them like the where nothing in the beginning.
I believe that a true American isn’t white or black it’s a person who cares and who provides for those in need. It’s also a person who promises change and gives us change. Who helps the poor not the rich get rich but also helps students with their education. I also think that they help by giving students more things to do after school so they won’t join gangs. Americans should be people who care about other not just their wealthy or greedy self’s. I also think that an American is a person who can agree to accept other people’s culture or make their own culture. It’s very hard to define what an American really is but this is what it means to me.
