Persuasive Essay #8

Many People immigrate to the U.S. because they believe that it is better than their native country. In fact, many people believe that the United States is the best country in the world. Do you agree? Why or why not?

Over the years, my family from another country always tells me how lucky I am to be living in the United States. At first, I thought that I was lucky, but now I am starting to believe that they are the lucky ones. The United States has changed a great deal in the past twenty years. I think that right now, the United States is not the best country in the world because of chaos that we are in.
The united states are in a depression. We have been trying to come up from this economic depression for years now. There is a great abundance of people that have lost their jobs because of this depression. Jobs are harder to find now because of the budget cuts. Teachers are not being paid what their salary consists of. The price of gas changes every couple of months. The price goes up and down then up and down again. A lot of businesses have closed down because they are not making enough money. There are barely any banks left because a lot of them have filed bankruptcy. Everything in the United States is going down the drain because the government cannot fix the crisis that Americans are gong through right now.
Education is very different very different in the united states as well. Public schools have suffered greatly. The government does not give the needed funding for the schools to provide books, computer labs, and different supplies. A lot of teachers have been laid off by budget cuts, so that means that the students rarely learn because they lack the teacher. A lot of kids do not even go to school anymore because they find it pointless. Schools have evolved to something different now. Colleges are suffering a lot too. They have to lower the amount of people that they accept into their schools because they do not have the proper funding to support these students.
This is not a good country to live in because if you are in the middle class, you are struggling. If you do not have money saved up already, you are going to struggle. This country is a lot about money. Poor people have become worst than they already were. Everybody is struggling. People that immigrate would have a very hard time to get on their feet if they come here. The United States is also going into a war too. The Americans never know when somebody might try to hurt us again like 9/11.
I think that at this point in time, the way that the Americans are struggling, the United States is not a good country to live in or to even think about coming to. I think that there are better countries to migrate to. People can make better choices and the United States is not the better choice right now.
