America,Land of the Free?

When we think of America, all we ever think about is how free we are and that we are an independent country. I am here to burst your bubble because America is not free to immigrants and others who are desperately poor. This is ridiculous. We are one of the strongest countries in this world and we can't even help our poor families out with money. Instead, we send our children to work in chili fields of New Mexico to the sweat shops in New York. Around the United States, 16 of our 50 states think that it is OK to let child slavery run its coarse through us like it did with the African Americans during the Civil War. This is very low for a country who is partially connected to technology and music. We should be ashamed of ourselves. We can't take a measily minute to look out our own front door and see that this world and our country is not perfect.


From presidential elections to the possible recession that are on our front door knocking to get in, we don't even see that we are falling into a time in the world that will destroy everything that we hold dear. The American public needs to see what their products are really made of. What goes into the things that we use every day? I can answer that question in two words, child slavery.When we are worrying about our own technology, people are starving and we can't even help them out

Imagine these poor children working in the fields for a chance at freedom. If they were still in Mexico or their home countries, they might have had a better life. These children need their freedom so will you help save one today by adopting a child who needs love and protection?An example of this is the story of Angel Oliveras(age 4) who works in chili fields that are taller than her in New Mexico. Another child like Angel is Vielesee Cassell( age 13) working in a sweat shop in Texas making dresses. In fact, there are 10 of thousands of children who are working as slaves in America right now.These are the kids that need all the help that they can get. You can go to websites like stopchildrenslavery.com and anti-slavery.org. Help these children, do not stand aside and let injustice like these go unpunished. Save them and together we might make America land of the free again.
