What defines an american?

Question

opinions please

Answer 1

Unlike most of the world, we don't define nationality and citizenship by language, blood, culture, or heritage. You're American because you want to be here. You're a citizen if you're born here or go through the proper channels, but I think 'American' is a much broader term. When my Sicilian ancestors immigrated to the United States in 1920, they weren't citizens and they didn't have to endure an overly complicated immigration procedure. They just wanted to be here; they wanted their kids to be here. I think as soon as they stepped onto American soil with a love of this country and a desire to enjoy its freedoms and opportunities, they were just as American as the rest of us. That's what makes the United States a superior country, if you ask me. Most of us are united by a common belief, a common dream, regardless of where we're from or what we were. You can be anything you want here. It's liberating and refreshing hundreds of years later.
