A Student Gets Schooled By An Immigrant With A Subpar English (23 pics)

Many natives of the United States forget that one of the most special aspects of this country is that anyone who immigrates here (and follows the rules) can become an American*.
When they raise their hand and swear allegiance to the United States they are every bit as American as I am and I'm descended from signer of the Declaration of Independence Robert Morris.
I could move to any other country, live there for 50 years, become a citizen and I'd never be Russian, Kenyan, Italian, Peruvian or whatever.

*The asterisk is for those who will protest that Canadians, Mexicans, and Central and South Americans are also eligible to be called that.
The word 'American' was being used to describe people from the part of the continent that was to become the United States for over 100 years before the Revolution.
When you say it you mean someone from the USA. Just as when you say United States you mean the USA, not the United States of Mexico, the United States of Colombia, or the United States of Venezuela.
