生得的市民権をめぐる議論は、単に米国の土壌で生まれたという理由だけで誰をアメリカ人とみなすべきかという点に焦点が当てられることが多い。しかし、アメリカの歴史における最大の皮肉の 1 つは、しばしば見落とされます。この土地で生まれたまさに最初の人々であるネイティブ アメリカンは、1924 年までアメリカ国民として広く認められませんでした。生得権市民権の原則は、南北戦争後の 1868 年に批准された合衆国憲法修正第 14 条に根ざしています。同条は、「米国で生まれた、または米国に帰化し、米国の管轄下にあるすべての人は米国国民である」と宣言している。この憲法上の保障にもかかわらず、ほとんどのネイティブ・アメリカンは米国国民ではなく主権部族国家の一員とみなされたため排除された。その結果、国境内で生まれた何百万人もの人々は、他のアメリカ人が享受する完全な権利と保護を拒否されました。
愛国者戦線などの白人至上主義団体は、自らをアメリカ人のアイデンティティを守る愛国運動であると称することが多い。しかし、社会学者、心理学者、犯罪学者、過激主義を研究する団体による数十年にわたる研究によると、人々がこれらのグループに参加する理由は、通常、最初はイデオロギー的なものではなく、はるかに個人的なものであることが示されています。孤独感、孤立感、アイデンティティの葛藤、帰属欲求などが、過激派の採用担当者が悪用する状況を作り出すことがよくあります。個人がグループと社会的なつながりを持つようになると、過激派イデオロギーが徐々に導入され、強化されていきます。
