I don't see how I could ...I am fine with that. I don't see how I could go to India or China, take up citizenship (if possible), and believe that my great grandchildren would have the same connection with the nation. Both those foreigners on the TV show an arrogant determination to hold themselves apart. Why should we not see them as the archetype of non-white immigrants? I confess to a fondness for Sikhs who, I read several years back, liked to display the Union Jack on national holidays. The few I've met in the U.S. were very kind and decent.Col. B.

Now we consider citizenship as something of a suggestion, if it's not too much to bother to give us your allegiance. We even tolerate dual citizenship and service in foreign armies. First generation citizens are given access to sensitive areas. Even our putative president has allegiance to this country that's iffy at the best if times. <br /><br />One thing you can be sure about is that we will continue to choose the most naive, unrealistic approach possible when it comes to citizenship. America as nothing more than a Grand Central Station waiting room.Col. B.
