Lighten up Francis.

I agree with you that if a person is born in the US then that person is American. However, for naturalized citizens I can see a point to using the hyphens.

I can't.

If they come here, they should come to be Americans, period.

If they want to maintain their allegiance to their old country, then don't become a citizen of this country.

Besides, if they can't figure out this is the best country on earth and much better than where they came from, even with all of America's current problems, then they are too dumb to be Americans and I for one would rather they stay in their own country.
