I was under the impression that, based on the get-yer-citizenship process, changing your allegiance from your former country and adopting the United States as your new home is part of being a good citizen in the United States.
Some people don't like that homework attached to that. And some people can't even change allegiance.
Seems that we, of the world, are citizens on paper, not in action.

Also:
It's really sad the only mention of "patriotism" today is that present when crazy white guys in camo give doomsday speeches.
How did patriot become synonymous with extremist nutjob?
