A duel-citizen, someone with 2 countries (as in the 2 parents in question were born in different countries) I am an American-I was a duel citizen for 23 years, then I petitioned to become an American. I think I should be, I've learned American history better than some Americans do. I realize the value of being in this country and the responsibility that country demands of you.

yes I'm American and yes i should be here. yeah my roots maybe some where else. did i have a choice that i was born here, did my parents, did there parents and so forth. I don't think so! what it makes me is a American. but to get it really straight- German, Irish, Scottish, Swedish American!

well i think i should not be an american.. just because i was born in america, i should be american ? my own opinion ill follow my roots because they were in my blood. my parents for example live in their country all their life, they took vacation in america and there i was born, now instantly im entitled to be american. no i dont want it...

Any white or black people in this nation came from other places. Everyone's roots are in other continents, but we are born here, so we are called Americans.

Being a citizen of the US and being an American are not the same thing.
One has the guts to protect his country and the lives and liberty of US citizens.
The other has the right to complain about it and be a Democrat.

my parents were born in Greece. I was born in the USA.
I consider myself an American first, then a Greek.
Basically, if the USA and Greece were to go to war (for some reason, lol) I'd fight for Uncle Sam

If your roots are from another country (for instance China), then you are Chinese-American. Everyone becomes an American when they come to this country to live and build a life. That's why the United States is called the great melting pot.
