Foreigners who want to become U.S. citizens don’t have to change their attitudes or beliefs, President Barack Obama said in a video aimed at convincing migrants to pursue American citizenship.
“It’s not about changing who you are, it’s about adding a new chapter to your journey… and to our journey as a nation of immigrants,” Obama narrates in his two-minute video urging almost 9 million resident migrants to sign up for citizenship so they can vote in 2016.
Obama’s deputies will award citizenship to 36,000 over the next few days.
But federal law — and reality — contradicts Obama’s progressive-style denial of Americans’ sophisticated, evolved and unique society, and contradicts his support for a chaotically diverse “nation of immigrants” devoid of any unique and shared loyalties and obligations.
“I hereby declare, on oath, that I absolutely and entirely renounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity to any foreign prince, potentate, state, or sovereignty, of whom or which I have heretofore been a subject or citizen,” says the first sentence of the citizenship oath.[. . .]
Obama does nothing to praise the native-born American people that created America’s culture, plus the modern world’s ideas, technologies, medicines, post-World War II peace and the worldwide marketplace that has lifted billions of people out of poverty.

His video shows images of lower-skilled tasks, such as construction, cooking and driving, along with multiple pictures of families and cityscapes. The only image of high-tech America is a brief video of an air-traffic control tower.

American is not a nation of immigrants. Seven out of every eight people — or roughly 265 million — living in the United States were born and raised here.
But the “nation of immigrants” pitch is also repeated by business-backed Republicans, who share an interest with Democrats in boosting the inflow of migrants.
“We’re a nation of immigrants,” Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker said Sept. 17.

Bush, like Obama, views the United States as “a market, not a country,” said Krikorian.
“Their sense of America is that it is a happenstance, that we all happen to be in the same place and anyone else can come and live the same place… that the nation merely is a geographic or economic unit rather than a cultural and emotional community.”
Imposed cultural variety, or diversity, is good for the elites, Krikorian said. “The weakening of a strong sense of the common American identity goes hand-in-hand with the growth of strong identity politics and grievance culture, where people are divided into various [competing genetic] groups… that requires the state to take a bigger and bigger role in life because groups have to be measured and represented,” he said.
