Luck of the draw at birth should have nothing to do with eligibility. If a person has jumped through all the hoops to become a legal US citizen, and in some cases served in our military, then by all means they should be eligible for everthing any AMERICAN is entitled to.

Some people must say to themselves, when looking at a photo of a victorious US team standing at the podium, that WE won. WE didn't win anything, THOSE individuals were the winners, and in reality they don't represent the rest of us, they represent themselves and the hard work that they did to get there, foreign born or not. Rooting for the home team is only natural, but it is easy to lose perspective about what the sport of flying model airplanes in competition is all about. If the sport ever evolved into a deal where the flyers were paid as full time employees of the US GOVERNMENT and granted a 100% free ride to practice everyday, assigned with a team of engineers,mechanics and builders, then I suppose their acheivements WOULD become more of a WE kind of thing.
