[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've been in the US (and other countries) for many years now due to work and I have loved each of them. I think the US is a great place to live, but I don't want to become an American citizen. Home is still somewhere else. It is where I grew up, were my family is, were they cook the food I like... yet my kids were born here and I believe they are very lucky because they have two nationalities. When the time comes they can choose to either stay here or not or come back at some point. What a wonderful gift! They have very strong ties to my home country, but I can see how this can be difficult for other families, because of finances, distance, etc. For many families this is the only home the child knows.

I work hard, pay taxes, volunteer, support the arts, respect the laws and feel a part of the community and in general I feel very welcome and integrated here, but when I read comments like "if you don't want to be an American then you should go back to your sh*t hole country and stop taking our stuff and jobs from us" I just have to roll my eyes and take a deep breath.

Back to the original question, I truly believe the US is the great country it is today because of that amendment and historically being so welcoming to immigrants. I am sure very few of the PP's are native Americans.
