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.

Organizações de supremacia branca, como a Patriot Front, muitas vezes se retratam como movimentos patrióticos que defendem a identidade americana. No entanto, décadas de investigação levada a cabo por sociólogos, psicólogos, criminologistas e organizações que estudam o extremismo indicam que as razões pelas quais as pessoas se juntam a estes grupos são geralmente muito mais pessoais do que ideológicas no início. Sentimentos de solidão, isolamento, lutas de identidade e um desejo de pertença criam frequentemente as condições que os recrutadores extremistas exploram. Uma vez que os indivíduos se tornam socialmente ligados ao grupo, a ideologia extremista é gradualmente introduzida e reforçada.
