American identity is currently defined by soil exclusively. If you were born on American dirt you are American regardless of the circumstances, and even that has been slipping. First it was if you arrive on the American dirt young enough you count too, now it's just any immigrant who shows up is just as American as you and me. There are almost no shared ideals, even less allegiance, and no sense of duty. Why would there be in such a system? I can't stand vivek.
