Jose Antonio Vargas : 3 questions to ask yourself about US citizenship

 3 questions to ask yourself about US citizenship

Summary

I think that probably, it’s instinct. The reason why we ask you about where you came from is to protect ourselves and we just must want to know instinctively what people don’t know.

The speaker is an American. He was born in the Philippines. His green card was fake, though, his ancestors came to America in the right way. In the past, the U.S welcomed a lot of immigrants legally.

They have their green card and immigration was America’s lifeline. They have worked hard in the U.S. for a long time.

However, people want to ask the speaker about where he came from. It’s because his face is brown. Thus people ask him the same question many times after answering that he is an American. When he asks a man, "where did you come from". The man answers, "I’m white".

White is not a country, isn’t it? The man was clearly rude.

The speaker wanted citizenship as participation, as contribution, and as education. He suggests that it can be judged by three questions.

Where did you come from?

How did you get here?

Who paid?

P.S. l couldn’t understand whether the story was right or not. It’s because the problems of immigrants are complicated. Still, many immigrants come to the US from various countries. It leads to accidents. Some people become a better American, though, some people might participate in terror, robbery, etc.

I think that now is the time to create better countries before you leave the country. Even in Japan, there are many Japanese people who want to leave Japan. They seem that they don't love Japan, though, I think that we have to create our better own country first.
