Question 1: Who gets to decide who is "American" or not?

citizenship

Question 2: How will this "Americaness" be determined? You can be born in America, speak English as a native tongue and have an American passport yet be on "the other side" - witness Berkeley.

LOL! dont worry its already determined regardless of this issue.

Question 3: What happened to the idea that the government should not play a role in social engineering? It didn't work when the leftists tried it, why should Pat be any more successful?

Mothers and families are not social engineering by the govt. A uniform tax break would be the govt's way of getting out of the way.

America and Britain have problems with new immigrants assimilating. But producing a vague scheme with no clear standards that sounds rather like how the Nazis used to reward "productive" mothers is no answer either. Of course the Patsie idiots will still shout "Buchanan Akbar" anyway.

How the nazis awarded productive mothers? Please explain this nazi accusation in greater detail. Thanks ;)

You mean well, so here is a link for you:

In addition to this, the Nazis would give those families cheap loans.

Citizenship isn't the criteria Pat uses. Note the wording used, "culturally American". That's not the same as citizenship. What Pat's fans have been fumbling around with is how to define this, and who is going to go around and define who is and who isn't, and how this system is going to prevent abuse, and why precisely the government is trustworthy enough to do this. It's not a uniform tax cut either as it is only going to go to mothers on the basis of this (as yet vaguely defined) selection criteria.
