Natural Born Right?

I first must say that I am a foreigner in the actuality that I was not born in the United States, but I have been raised here since a very early age. So, my question is that, does that make me an American. In my mind, the answer is OF COURSE! I pledge that I am a patriot to this wonderful country of ours.

I know many people that boasts that if you aren't a natural born citizen of a country then you have no dealings saying that you are loyal or patriotic. So, my question has always been does being a natural born citizen of a country make you more loyal? Is it impossible to be born in America and still hate it? Well, the simple answer to the latter question is-- YES!

I find, being an immigrant, I have much more loyalty to this country than most people were born in the United States. I feel that most people here take for granted the difficulty that many immigrants endure to just step foot on United States soil! 

Oddly enough, when the Earth first emerged there were no signs of boundaries other than the natural boundaries of mountains, lakes, and canyons. In essence, the Treaty of West Phalia was incredible for the precedent it set, but at the same time did it not just add a superficial label by which you have no control over.

In my mind, natural born, is just that, a natural birth. Insemination to conception to germination to ejection to existence. So, at the end of the day, what does nationality really mean?
