Corrupt Politics 
I never really knew much about politics, since I never really cared about it. When my family and I moved to the United States from Germany though, all that changed. I started to educate myself about the hierarchy of authority in this country and learned about leading figures such as the president or the vice president of the United States, as well as the general facts about political parties and their main beliefs. Because the outcome of the next presidential election will play a huge rule in my parents' acquisition of the green card in the near future, I figured that voting for Romney will give them the best shot of getting the green card within the next two years. 

Throughout the past few weeks numerous college students have approached me and asked me whether I have registered to vote. Since I deeply care about the outcome of the next presidential election, I had gone through the lengthy process of registering quite some time ago. Naturally, I had watched all the presidential and vice presidential debates in order to accurately inform myself of the available options and which would benefit me the most. Since my dad had gotten my brother and myself the green card a few years back due to our backgrounds, his connections and the investments he had made in this country. Now, my brother and I are able to vote in this country but our parents who made it possible for us to live here merely have visas in order to maintain their residency in the United States.

Because my family now lives in Naples, I had to order an absentee ballot, which I received in the mail about a week ago. That document made it able for me to vote even though I registered to vote in Naples. I voted for Mitt Romney, because his policies on immigration will make it possible for my parents to get the green card in the upcoming year. Naturally, my brother wanted to show his appreciation for his parents as well and therefore he voted for Romney as well.

I find it disturbing that my parents who made it possible for my brother and myself to become citizens of this country don’t even have a green cared yet, to wait at least five more years to become citizens of this great nation and on the other hand, hundreds of illegal immigrants make their way into this country every day and make it so much harder for those who try to migrate to this country legally. Those illegal immigrants take jobs away from Americans who worked hard all of their lives in order to attain the social status they have now.
