In order to become an American nationalist, you must first become an American citizen. This can be accomplished through a variety of means, including naturalization or birthright citizenship. Once you are a citizen, you can begin your journey toward becoming a true American nationalist.

There are many benefits to being an American nationalist. The most obvious one is that you will be able to vote for Donald Trump in 2020 and beyond, but there are other benefits as well. You will no longer have to worry about the government trying to tell you what to do with your life because they won’t care anymore! You’ll be able to do whatever you want without having anyone tell you that it’s wrong or immoral or whatever else they say now when they don’t like something someone else does.

The following steps will help you become an American Nationalist.

1. Stop using the word “nationalist.” It’s a slur against people who want to preserve their culture and heritage, so don’t use it.
2. Learn how to speak English without an accent and practice often.
3. Learn how to read and write English correctly, including all grammar rules, spelling rules, etc. You can do this by taking classes or reading books on the subject.
4. Stop watching movies or TV shows with subtitles in them if they are in another language because it’s bad for your brain to only hear one language all day long! And also because it makes it seem like you’re not as smart as other Americans because you can’t understand what people are saying around you all the time when they talk about things that might be important like sports or politics or whatever else happens in America every day! (But don’t worry about missing out on anything important because we’ll tell you what’s going on!)
5. Stop eating food from other countries too much because it’s bad for your stomach and might make you sick later down the road when your body gets older if you don’t eat enough vegetables instead.

How To Become An American Nationalist

What is a U.S. National? 

Let’s start with the simple part – all U.S. citizens are U.S. nationals. That is easy. You can, however, be a U.S. national without actually being a U.S. citizen. 

How does this work? Let’s start by taking a look at the difference between a U.S. national and a U.S. citizen.

Difference Between a U.S. National and a U.S. Citizen

A U.S. citizen is someone who either has citizenship through their birth or obtained citizenship through naturalization. If you acquire citizenship by birth, you are either born in the U.S. or born in a foreign country, but your parents are U.S. citizens.

We will look at how a U.S. National can become a U.S. citizen through the process of naturalization further below in the article.

A U.S. national, on the other hand, is someone who has the “irrevocable right to reside in the territory of the United States without limitation“. Note, Green card holders aren’t U.S. nationals as, even though they have the right to reside in U.S. territory, this right can be revoked.

A U.S. national is also more formally defined by the Internal Revenue Service as someone who “owes his sole allegiance to the United States“. 

U.S. nationals who aren’t also U.S. citizens are referred to as people who were “born in or who have connections with the United States’ outlying possessions”. This includes Swains Island and American Samoa.

You will also be a “non-citizen U.S. national” if you were born in one of the below countries in the listed time period:

Country of Birth	Period of Birth
Puerto Rico	Between the years 1898 and 1917
Guam	Between the years 1898 and 1950
U.S. Virgin Islands	Between 1917 and 1927
Philippines	Between 1898 and 1946

If you were born in any of the countries above (excluding the Philippines) after the listed dates, you will automatically be considered a U.S. citizen.

There is only a small number of people that will ever be a U.S. national without also becoming a U.S. citizen. 

Right and Restrictions of a U.S. National

Most of the rights are similar between a U.S. citizen and a U.S. national. There are only a few exceptions. To make sure it is clear what rights and restrictions apply to a U.S. national specifically, we’ll delve a little deeper into those.

Rights of a U.S. National

As a U.S. national, you will automatically have the following rights:

• You are allowed to live anywhere in the U.S.
• You are allowed to work anywhere in the U.S. 
• You can get a U.S. passport. Just like with a U.S. citizen, your passport will indicate “Nationality – USA”.
• You can apply for U.S. citizenship through naturalization, just like permanent residents of the U.S. can. 

Other rights that are protected for U.S. nationals are: 

• Freedom of expression
• Freedom to worship the religion of your choice
• Freedom to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”
• The right to consular protection of the U.S. while you are abroad. 

Restrictions for U.S. Nationals

The only big restrictions on U.S. nationals are that they can’t vote or hold an elected office. Further than that, the rights between U.S. Nationals and U.S. citizens are the same. 

How Can U.S. Nationals Become U.S. Citizens? 

As mentioned above, if you are a U.S. national, you can become a U.S. citizen through the process of naturalization. You can do this after you have resided in the U.S. continuously for a period of three months. 

Naturalization Requirements

Over and above the requirement to have continuously resided in the U.S. for three months, the following eligibility requirements apply to naturalization: 

• You must be at least 18 years old 
• You must be able to read, write and speak basic English
• You must understand the basics of the U.S. government and history
• You must show good moral character. 

Note you must have continuously resided in the U.S. in the state or United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) district where you are applying for naturalization. You will also have to provide proof of this. 

Naturalization Process

In short, the naturalization process works as follows: 

• Step 1: Determine whether you are not perhaps already a U.S. citizen.
• Step 2: Determine if you are eligible to become a U.S. citizen.
• Step 3: Complete your Form N-400 – Application for Naturalization.
• Step 4: Submit your Form N-400.
• Step 5: Attend your biometrics appointment and have your fingerprints taken (only if required).
• Step 6: Complete your citizenship interview.
• Step 7: Receive the USCIS decision. If your application is denied, you can appeal the decision. If your application is approved, proceed to step 8.
• Step 8: If your application is approved, take the oath of allegiance.
• Step 9: Make sure you understand your rights and responsibilities of being a U.S. citizen.

Naturalization Test

As part of the naturalization process, there are two other important steps you need to go through. Firstly, you need to attend a citizenship interview. Secondly, you will also be required to write a naturalization test. This test will include a civics test and an English test. The results of your test will determine whether you are eligible for U.S. citizenship.

Your English test will consist of three different sections. The first is a speaking test that determines whether you can speak English. The second is a reading test, where you will be asked to read three sentences aloud. You have to read at least one of these sentences correctly. The last section is a writing test. In this part, you will be asked to write three sentences. You have to write at least one sentence correctly to prove you can write in English. 

The civics test consists of a list of 100 questions. These questions relate to the history and the government of the U.S. You will only be asked 10 of the 100 items, and you must answer at least 6 of the 10 correct to pass.

Final Thoughts

If you are a U.S. national without being a U.S. citizen, you already have a lot of the same rights a U.S. citizen has. If you want to have the right to vote or you wish to hold an elected office as well, you can apply to become a U.S. citizen. You can do this through naturalization. Follow the simple steps provided above and be one step closer to also having your political say in your beloved country.
