I worded my thoughts poorly. You can become a citizen through naturalization.
The original commenter says America is for Americans (assuming they mean citizens) and I was trying to point out that not all Americans are born in America.
I did not intend to imply that everyone wants to be an American.
No. That is very much not a legal or even sociological definition. There are plenty of people who live and work in America who have other nationalities and would prefer to not be considered American, even. A lot of Americans (I am one, before you assume something else) have a weird complex where they think everyone wants to be them. But that is very, very wrong to assume.
