Biographie de l'auteur

I am currently a Junior at Hatboro-Horsham High School, and I have a passion for politics. Being a teenager, I felt that the opportunity for me to be involved in politics was limited so I decided to do something unorthodox, write a book. There is policy gridlock in our government, and the purpose of the book is to raise awareness about the issue of immigration. Hopefully, this book will inspire people to become more interested in politics and the political process through conduits such as contacting their local political officials, being active at the ballot box, and remaining informed regarding impending legislation. The more pressure people put upon politicians, the greater the likelihood for change and progress.
