In the US you can become American. In Sweden you are either Swedish or not. Immigrants are referred to as Swedish citizens, not Swedes.

Exactly. You embrace American values (constitution) and you are in. Here you are or are not and can't do anything about it.

Keep in mind some of us are not like that. I met some Americans here that are my friends. They keep brining up how I "let them in". :)
