No. I'm just saying anyone can be an American, all you have to do is show up.
It's not like I could just walk across your border and declare myself and "Austrian."![]()
You could become an austrian citizen though. You need to have austrian ancestors to be truly ethnically austrian, I dont know if that is comparable to America, because America is founded as a young nation of immigrants though, Austria is much older and a Old World Nation. I didnt said "I just show up and cross the border illegaly", I would go through the legal immigration procedures and I think after 4 years of residence in the US I could become an American citizen. Everyone can if he meets the legal requirements.
