Debatten om födslorättsmedborgarskap handlar ofta om vem som ska anses vara amerikan bara för att de föddes på amerikansk mark. Ändå förbises ofta en av de största ironierna i amerikansk historia: de allra första människorna som föddes i detta land, indianer, erkändes inte allmänt som medborgare i USA förrän 1924. Principen om födslorättsmedborgarskap har sin rötter i det 14:e tillägget till den amerikanska konstitutionen, som ratificerades 1868 efter inbördeskriget. Den förklarar att "alla personer som är födda eller naturaliserade i USA, och som lyder under dess jurisdiktion, är medborgare i USA." Trots denna konstitutionella garanti uteslöts de flesta indianer eftersom de ansågs vara medlemmar av suveräna stamnationer snarare än medborgare i USA. Som ett resultat nekades miljontals människor födda inom landets gränser de fulla rättigheter och skydd som andra amerikaner åtnjuter.

Vita supremacistiska organisationer som Patriot Front framställer ofta sig själva som patriotiska rörelser som försvarar amerikansk identitet. Men årtionden av forskning av sociologer, psykologer, kriminologer och organisationer som studerar extremism indikerar att anledningarna till att människor går med i dessa grupper vanligtvis är mycket mer personliga än ideologiska till en början. Känslor av ensamhet, isolering, identitetskamper och en önskan om tillhörighet skapar ofta de förutsättningar som extrema rekryterare utnyttjar. När individer väl blir socialt anslutna till gruppen, introduceras och förstärks den extremistiska ideologin gradvis.
