Anyone who thinks being raised by US citizen parents vs non-US citizen parents is the same thing has never been around anyone in the latter category for any extended time. We see it in our own family with my son-in-law whose parents came to the US to fulfill his dad’s lifelong dream of coming to America. In most regards they make better US citizens than many native or natural born.
BUT unlike the original settlers and most immigrants thru the first part of the 20th century, that family is able to return ‘home’ every year. The children were equally steeped in US and the old country’s cultures and languages. They were able to obtain dual-citizenship. One of the US born children has returned to live in the old country. Some very basic things that American kids, born of US citizen parents and steeped in US culture, just KNOW can come as a surprise to our son-in-law. It’s endearing, just not qualifying if he ever wanted to be POTUS.
Well that’s one type of immigrant family. Then you’ve got the reconquista type, who believe that southwest USA was stolen from Mexico and needs to be returned by any possible necessary. [The kids are raised believing this—and raised to hate the US in the process.]
Then you have the even more virulent and insidious post-colonialists, who literally believe the US is the biggest source and force of evil in the modern world. Obama is one of these. This explains his truly nasty and hateful attitude toward the US, and his personal jihad against us.
Anybody who thinks the kids of foreign post-colonialists and reconquistas are exactly what the Framers intended via NBC, has just drunk too much Kool-Aid, period. The incidence of this type and level of anti-Americanism among the kids of citizens is much lower, and far, far easier to identify. That’s why we never had to worry about a POTUS trying—and succeeding very well—to outright destroy the US pre-Obama. When the powers that be decided the kid of a virulently anti-American foreign post-colonialist was just peachy, we started down the fast track to national destruction, and that is just a fact.
