Melting pot, sure. Brooks, Chandler, Johnson, Jones and Diskerud were born outside and lived outside this melting pot their whole lives, played for the youth teams. Julian Green grew up in Germany since he was 2 years old.
You're just importing players because you're that bad.

No way they are way to good for other countries fender..

Heinrich is barking up the wrong tree again.
Reminds me of this guy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IPKL1Oy-CA

well many players do that and i maybe would do the same, if its not enough for your first choice
i could play for the us as well since my grandfather is from murica

He is just a bigot and a racist. Plain and simple.

Can't argue with that.

Keep the trash talk to a minimum, por favor. Focus on the subject at hand, the US national team's dual national players...

Yes, the US has players that were not born in the US, just like France has players born in Algeria and Germany has players born in Turkey/Poland/others. Diego Costa was born in Brazil and is playing for Spain. It happens all the time. In fact, the US is late to the game when it comes to taking advantage of dual national players. We don't take enough advantage of the fact that the US military spread results in little half-Americans all over the world.

I think Bruce Arena is an idiot for speaking out against this idea, citing "no team unity" and "players not fighting for the crest." No matter what, when you put on a national team jersey, there is a different sort of responsibility and camaraderie that you feel with your teammates (not speaking from experience unfortunately). This supersedes the fact that players were born in different countries.

My grandfather is from italy, hence i am also able to play for USA.

Same happens with mexicans or their more darker relatives, englishmads, spanish and yadda yadda.

Then and only then i can boast shit like "proud to be an americunt"

Those words will never leave your mouth

sry, but you need to get your facts straight. we have exactly two players not born in germany. both were born in poland (klose & podolski) but they both came to germany as children, grew up here and learned to play football in the german youth system.

those players you imported grew up in a different country, went through THEIR youth system and only began to play for usa when they were already decent or good. imo that's a big difference.
it's not that i blame them, obviously they aren't good enough to play in the country they grew up in so they took the opportunity to play for a different country and participate in a world cup but still...

being an immigrant country (like the usa, germany, australia, france, belgium, switzerland...) is not the same as mass importing talented players... apples and oranges...
