You are partialy correct. By definition citizens are either born or made by choice. Our country’s greatness inarguably began during a period of remarkable immigration. this is true unless you are an adherent to the philosophy that rejects anyone not proceeding from Europe. Every previous immigrant group has had numbers of decent and not so outstanding members, such is life. Regardless, we owe our greatness largely to immigrants and their adventurism, stick-to-iveness and bravery no matter where in the world they came from. This is also largely true unless you are a Native American and believe we could be where we are today if the Colonies had never set foot in Plymouth. I am not afraid of immigrants, I am opposed to illegal immigration. My culture begins at home, not with the winds of society that ebb and flow with the whim of popularity. My children, as many of my uniformed colleagues, never forget where thier family came from and cherish the values and beliefs of life, liberty, and the pursuit of hapiness. What binds our country together is our love for our Constituion and the ability to read it and understand it (the English language), not where you came from or how you look. To reject a potential “American” simply by the way they look or how they pronounce the Pledge is tantamount to the liberal’s racial manipulation of Black America. Take it from an over twenty five year DoD member who is a first generation red blooded American.

Regards.

Being an American was once more important than being a Republican or Democrat. All of our politicians seem to have forgotten. A white House without a country may as well be empty.
