Why naturalized citizens and their children born in the U.S. should NOT be treated like ordinary citizens...

That's right. I said it. Naturalized citizens and their children born in the U.S. should NOT be treated like ordinary citizens. No sir. And, the reason is simple. Families who have immigrated to the U.S. have left behind everything - friends, family, culture, their native language and land - to be HERE in the U.S. All of which makes the leap of faith that comes with leaving your country to move to a foreign land something far, far from ordinary. Just the opposite in fact. Naturalized citizens and their children born in the U.S. are our constant everyday reminders of the extraordinary miracle that is hope against all odds. Hope to overcome hardship. Hope to better one's life. Hope to see the next generation do better than the one before it. A reminder without which an America prone to complacency might occasionally think itself Great Again, when in fact America has always been and always will be a garden in constant need of renewal.
