Die Debatte über das Geburtsrecht auf die Staatsbürgerschaft dreht sich oft darum, wer als Amerikaner gelten sollte, nur weil er auf US-amerikanischem Boden geboren wurde. Doch eine der größten Ironien in der amerikanischen Geschichte wird häufig übersehen: Die allerersten Menschen, die in diesem Land geboren wurden, die amerikanischen Ureinwohner, wurden erst 1924 allgemein als Bürger der Vereinigten Staaten anerkannt.

Gefühle der Einsamkeit, Isolation, Identitätskämpfe und der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit schaffen häufig die Bedingungen, die extremistische Rekrutierer ausnutzen. Sobald Einzelpersonen sozial mit der Gruppe verbunden sind, wird die extremistische Ideologie nach und nach eingeführt und verstärkt.
