A natural born american was born in america, an immigrant american is someone born in another country who comes to the USA, and gets citizenship. Either one can go to highschool.

Indian immigrants? Are we speaking Indians from India? or Native American???? because Native American's ARE NOT immigrants. Anglo Saxon's are immigrants.\n\nP.S. How many Anglo Saxon's have you seen working in the fields picking lettuce in California? How many want to? I think we should all consider the jobs that the immigrants have, would any of you want them? No.......

I don't know why.  You have a good point. I usually state that I am a New Yorker.  If I answer a question and they ask if I am an American I will answer yes but I always state that I am a New Yorker.  My g/f is from Holland.  My family has a tendency to state shes European.  No she's Dutch first. Europe is a big place.  Just as America is.  Need to be more specific in my opinion. People have been known to generalize.  And I for one dont like to be generalized so I help clarify where I am from.

Well, I guess that every one learns from the other one.\nHowever, if you think about it, when some one come to the USA. They need to learn The constitution, and ajust them self to the USA culture, so it is not realy a change on the American Folks, is more to the Immigrant more, I know some times folks say that it is changing the way we do things...

Canadian= a citizen of the country of Canada.  My dad's a Canadian immigrant, but I'm 100% full-red-blooded American.  If you are born in Canada- you're a citizen.  If you legally immigrate there and become a citizen, you're Canadian.

Hey I agree with you baby - if you were born in America then your American, if you were born in Africa then your African and if you were born in Africa and moved to America and became a legalized citizen then you are African American.

there is a difference between green card holder and legal immigrant!!!\nThere are lots of fully legal workers in the US, holding a working permit - there are quite a few different types, depending on the time spent in the country, on the type of expertise, on the job...\n\nThe step from Green Card to citizenship is quite direct - but the step between work permit and permit of residence (aka green card), is years of paper work, lawyers, money... \n\nSo, no, not all legal immigrants become citizens. Actually, not all want to! Some are in fact proud of their country of birth, but life somethimes takes you down unexpected paths.

Caz, not every American is anti-immigrant. My family has been in this country for a long time but I have been around Mexican people all my life. 99% of immigrants come here seeking work and a better life for their families. I feel that the people who want to immigrate here represent the best of their countries - they are the ones willing to risk their lives to come here and work - they are the most ambitious ones - and the ones who will make the best Americans!

well it can often affect the dynamic of the family overtime. Typically the first generation (the people just on the way over) experience some kind of negative emotions toward the new culture that they are entering to. This is reflected through the popularity of ethnic enclaves and the like (its just simply more important to be around those who can help and are like you when you first arrive). The second generation (children) usually begin a bit of a change in thought toward the dominant culture due to the public school system. They want to be like their new friends and fit in with their peer groups at school. This can create a new set of tension within the family as older family practices come into conflict with the wants of the second generation. By the time the third generation hits (grandkids of the immigrants) there is already a bit of culture loss from the original culture which has been supplanted by the dominant culture. This melding of culture affects the family as the newer generation always appears continue to break away from cultural practices.\n\nThere is something to be said for the fact that the family dynamic in immigrant families is similar to families from the dominant groups. There is still the same tensions that would have occured in the original culture as children begin to grow up, rebel, and seek their own independence. However there is large external agent (the change in location) which affects these tensions even more.

Citizen=national.  Those who are  born or naturalized in the US.  Others are aliens, legal or illegal.

Yes it is!  My parents both come to the States as immigrants in the 70's.  After a long struggle, they managed build their credit-scores and save up money, which they used to open up their business.  They were permanent residents when they did this.\n\nMany blessings and good luck!

I hope to be an immigrant. Iam American/English with extended family in Eng. I go to Eng a lot. My family fought for Eng. America is a beautiful country but I will be buied in Eng. so why don't I just buy my home and help the economy in Eng. I understand the non-English immigrants,we have Mexican illegals here and I have a neighbour who is illegal.I dont believe anyone should be actually stopped if family are of the countries heritage like my family was.\n\nI also dont want to go to Eng. where extended family live now for a free ride.\nIam English in blood and want to be in the country my family came from. Can you understand why I feel this way? :)

As long as they're legal I don't care.  It's the illegal ones that I have a problem with.  And English "is" our National language.  And no, Native Americans are not our ancestors.  The majority of Americans are of European descent.  That's why we speak English.  No, it has nothing to do with culture diversity.  It has to do with intelligence.  The morons who think it's better to have multiple languages are that, morons.  How many teachers are we going to hire to teach all these languages?  How many interpreters do we have to hire because not everyone is going to know "all" the languages.  I took French in high school.  Why?  Because I wanted to.  Did I "need" to?  No.  Do I speak it now?  No.  You want to live in the United States, learn English. I was in the military and went to Germany.  Guess what?   I learned German.  At least enough to get by.  I didn't force them to learn English.  When in Rome, do as the Romans do.  Nuff said.

False.\nAll "Americans" are foreigners.

In my opinion, immigrant students should get a scholarship, green card, permanent visa or some kind of help from the government. Most immigrant students, come to the United States to reach a dream. They are teneciaous students, that put all their effort to reach their goals.And it is why i think they should be awarded, despite their gender, color or race.
