Why do so many people pick on USA citizens but get on board to the Nation?

The USA was established based on Christian Principles, and these have contributed to God's blessing it so much in the past (resulting in the high standard of living).\n\nThis high standard of living attracts people from all around the world.\n\nNow however, as the USA has moved away from Christianity, its greatness is decreasing. And with time it is likely to not be as attractive to people from other countries (but that may be 30 years from now).\n\nPeople pick on US citizens -- sometimes out of envy, sometimes because of scapegoating by leaders in other countries, sometimes because of perceived arrogance...\n\nCordially,\nJohn\nhttp://www.GodSci.org

Too much nationalistic pride. But it is not even about them really loving their country it is because they don't like other countries. But it isn't even about their hate of other countries. It is simply because they are angry. Angry about the way their life is, angry about their lack of success, and hard times. They blame this on everyone else instead of accepting responsibility for their own lives. Blame it on a race, other country, God, even society.

It is the height of ignorance for an illegal to come to the U.S. then wave the flag of the country they are fleeing in our faces...demanding the rights and largess of a nation they don't even respect.  The first act of an illegal is to break the law to enter.  From that act very little they do benefits anyone but themselves.

Because they don't want to be US citizens.  Man - have some respect for other people and other countries - not everyone wants to be American or chase after the so-called "American Dream".  And find out the meaning of continental - Alaska & Hawaii are US states, but they aren't US continental states and there is a reason for that.

im American and i wouldn't have a problem with you getting citizenship because you are doing it the legal way, you are literate and already have experience in a job, and you know what kind of job you are looking for.i would rather see more of you coming to America than people who suck up social security when actual citizens need it. ofcourse this is my opinion only.

I am not clear what exactly you want to know. My view on citizenship of America is that it is the best place to live and it is very hard to get the citizenship of US for an outsider.

It is your duty as a citizen of a democracy to be questioning of your nation, and criticising when you think it is appropriate. \n\nTo be blind to the errors that your own country makes abroad is very dangerous, especially if a large number of people also do this.\n\nUnless it's during the World Cup, which is an ideal (and relatively harmless) outlet for nationalism and the dislike of other nations.

Thats the point !!! ........ they think they're the world and nobody else exists, americans are selfish and stuck up in themselves and then they dont even want to share what they have, you can see that in their strict inmigration laws. Thats why they have so many enemies across the world, many countries hate them some of them dont tell that openly because of diplomacy but they do. Cause americans think they're the big s**t and every where they go they think every one is there to serve them. But one day the nation will fall like any other in history and their ego will fall with them.

Because they want to explore other places, and see where they fit in. Just because you're born somewhere, it odesn't necessarily mean you're ACCEPTED where you are.

Perhaps because most of the users are from the United States. And U.S. citizens appear to be mostly interested in their own country. Or perhaps it's because the U.S. is the sole superpower, and also seem to lead the world in cultural exports?

Well, that's part of America's government. Because we are actually a republic (and NOT a democracy) like the idiots on television like to say, we vote for people to represent us. So in a sense, the people do decide by electing representatives on their own behalf who represent their own beliefs to go to Washington to do crap.\n\nAs where in a democracy, the people vote on absolutely everything, which is expensive.

If someone immigrates legally to this country they are Americans and many do serve their nation and economy quite well.  People born here have a sense of entitlement.  It does not help when our goverment encourages people to use welfare, wic and foodstamps with billboard advertising.  People do still serve their nation, just ask anyone who puts on a uniform of any sort. (even the factory workers count here)  Every generation has had their ingrates and there are aways those who counteract their behavior with achievment and generosity.

International rules aren't that strict. It's often determined by which country you are a citizen of, not where you are born. There are even some exceptions to that, however.

Getting a passport into this country is hard and becoming a US citizen is even harder. Because I'm not an illegal imigrant, I'm just saying what I've read and what I understand. They do it because the cost of getting a passport is too much for them to afford. Most of them need a good jop and they need money for their families. It isn't hard to understand

i do... the usa call themselves the land of the brave and free isn't it, so...be brave to take illegals as they do the jobs your own people don't want to , feel free to welcome them as you can learn from them , it is called multucultural exchange...

Because there is such a diverse range of citizens - The US.

Isn't that funny, i was asking myself the same thing. I assume that most have never travelled abroad and experienced the world beyond their own back yard. Call it ignorance. But I do agree that there are people out there who don't know that there is a whole world of opinions and ideals that are waiting to be explored. By the way, explore some of the questions in politics and you will discover that there are a considerable amount of people who are questioning their present government in the US.
