President John Adams has just passed a new act, the alien and sedition act. The Alien act makes it much harder for anyone it become a citizen. To become a legal citizen you have to have lived here for fifteen full years instead of five years like it has been in the past. This act also gives our president the power to kick any illegal alien out of the country, in simple terms making immigration illegal. The Sedition part of the act means this, that we have lost our freedom of speech. Now, that these acts have been passed we are no longer free to say what we want and our opinions. The acts say that we are not allowed to say or write anything bad, nonpositive, false, or criticizing the government, the government officials, or any of its policies.
