Whats An American                                                                                         An American is a person that is loyal to its governments. In my opinion an American is a person who basically has an advantage to succeed in life. I am not a full United States American, I am a Mexican-American. I really don't have an advantage to be someone really important. I guess that I am an American citizen now because of the new laws Obama has passed.                                              The new law has help a lot of Mexican- American.  There's a lot of immigrant driving and when being stop by the police they are asked for there drivers license and they don't have one and as a result there car is taken away, but now we can now have the chance to get our drivers license. Applying for jobs is also an obstacle for us, why? well because to have a good paying job, it is required to have a good social security.                                                                                                                  I am proud to be Mexican-American because i recently found out that the U.S. is providing weapon to other country. I dislike the fact that the United State get into war that they weren't suppose to be in. Being American is advance opportunities to be someone in life. All immigrant don't have that head start American have, we got to start from the bottom and work hard to have a good career.                                                                                                                                                                                                                 Americans have that privilege to travel the world with out being told to go back where they came from. We don't get to travel and see whats out there we don't have that opportunity that American do have.  overall in my opinion being an American is to have a chance to be someone in life. American's is full of a lot of things hate, power etc. All i got to say is that people should be proud of where you came from.
