I think many folks who initially came to America still viewed themselves as Polish first, or Korean first, or Israeli first...nothing wrong with it, and quite natural considering language, customs, etc but seems you're looking to make this a black and white issue...in the old days we would ask if the US ever went to war with, let us say Israel, and you were an American Jew, where would your "allegiance" be?...thank G-D we do not have to make such choices in the peaceful times we now enjoy, partly due to people being more tolerant of other people.

No I don't find that so disturbing. There are so many circumstances that would provide for a forginer living here and enjoying the advantages while still a citizen of another country. If you have ever dealt with the INS you would perhaps understand why some who want to become citizens get frustrated. We are probably not that far apart as I too would agree that a foreigner choosing to live here but saying they hate this country and how terrible it is could quite properly be asked why they don't go home.

Bush, in a wide-ranging discussion with reporters while flying back from Norfolk, Va., also suggested he has little enthusiasm for congressional probes of his predecessor's final acts in office, including pardons. "I think it's time to move on," Bush said. However, he conceded, "Congress is going to do what it's going to do." Several congressional panels are looking into Clinton's pardon of fugitive financier Marc Rich, whose ex-wife is a major Democratic contributor. On Monday, Attorney General John Ashcroft told reporters he would be open to congressional proposals to give Rich's ex-wife, Denise Rich, immunity in exchange for her testimony. Bush said he had not talked to Ashcroft about it but reiterated, "My attitude is it's time to move on." "All the allegations that they took stuff on Air Force One are simply not true," Bush added. He referred to published accounts suggesting that members of Clinton's party removed glasses and other souvenirs from the presidential plane as it took the former president to New York from Washington on the day he left office....
