출생시민권에 대한 논쟁은 단순히 미국 땅에서 태어났다는 이유만으로 누가 미국인으로 간주되어야 하는지에 초점을 맞추는 경우가 많습니다. 그러나 미국 역사상 가장 큰 아이러니 중 하나는 자주 간과됩니다. 이 땅에서 태어난 최초의 원주민인 아메리카 원주민은 1924년까지 보편적으로 미국 시민으로 인정받지 못했습니다. 출생시민권 원칙은 남북 전쟁 후 1868년에 비준된 미국 수정헌법 제14조에 뿌리를 두고 있습니다. 이 법은 "미국에서 태어나거나 귀화하고 미국의 관할권에 속하는 모든 사람은 미국 시민이다"라고 선언합니다. 이러한 헌법적 보장에도 불구하고 대부분의 아메리카 원주민은 미국 시민이 아닌 주권 부족 국가의 구성원으로 간주되어 제외되었습니다. 그 결과, 미국 국경 내에서 태어난 수백만 명의 사람들이 다른 미국인들이 누리는 모든 권리와 보호를 거부당했습니다.
패트리어트 프론트(Patriot Front)와 같은 백인 우월주의 조직은 종종 스스로를 미국의 정체성을 옹호하는 애국 운동으로 묘사합니다. 그러나 사회학자, 심리학자, 범죄학자 및 극단주의를 연구하는 조직이 수십 년간 연구한 결과, 사람들이 이러한 그룹에 가입하는 이유는 처음에는 이념적이기보다는 훨씬 더 개인적인 이유인 것으로 나타났습니다. 외로움, 고립감, 정체성 투쟁, 소속감에 대한 욕구는 종종 극단주의 채용 담당자가 이용하는 조건을 조성합니다. 개인이 집단에 사회적으로 연결되면 극단주의 이데올로기가 점차 도입되고 강화됩니다.
