Perhaps, but the Founders knew that at some point, you have to draw a line. Immigrants naturally have a divided loyalty. For a native born citizen, such divided loyalties are unnatural and less likely to happen.
The Founders believed they knew where to draw the line. It’s my view that history has proved them less than completely accurate. Yes, my view, which I am entitled to argue for, thank you very much. And as evidence thereof, I can easily point to the fact that the loyalties of the native born are as likely to be divided as are the loyalties of the naturalized.
