They believe that since they were born here, that makes them native. The typical dumbass that will ignore any facts that don't fit their pathetically small world view.

But that's cause they think they are superior... and it clearly shows, they are not. I am a Native Hawaiian and Japanese, and I am sure they THINK they discovered Hawaii too.

Also...y'know, the oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic, does not expire when your term of service does, and people walking down an American street wearing an SS helmet and throwing Hitler salutes are domestic enemies.

They may not even be real Know-Nothings either, but they're at least real know-nothings.
