O debate sobre a cidadania por nascença centra-se frequentemente em quem deve ser considerado americano simplesmente porque nasceu em solo americano. No entanto, uma das maiores ironias da história americana é frequentemente ignorada: as primeiras pessoas nascidas nesta terra, os nativos americanos, não foram universalmente reconhecidos como cidadãos dos Estados Unidos até 1924. O princípio da cidadania por nascença está enraizado na 14ª Emenda à Constituição dos EUA, ratificada em 1868 após a Guerra Civil. Declara que “todas as pessoas nascidas ou naturalizadas nos Estados Unidos, e sujeitas à sua jurisdição, são cidadãos dos Estados Unidos”. Apesar desta garantia constitucional, a maioria dos nativos americanos foi excluída porque eram considerados membros de nações tribais soberanas, e não cidadãos dos Estados Unidos. Como resultado, milhões de pessoas nascidas dentro das fronteiras do país tiveram negados todos os direitos e protecções de que gozam outros americanos.
