== Failed verification == 

 I am moving some references to the talk page because they failed verification:  

 :*This reference does not explicitly contain the the cited phrase. The words cited are actually a heading and subheading within a chapter as follows: 
 ::Chapter 2: American Citizens and Political Culture 
 :::Level 1 subhead: Who is an American? 
 :::Level 2 subhead: Native-born and Naturalized Citizens 
 :::Level 2 subhead: American Citizenship 
 :::Level 2 subhead: Nonimmigrants 
 :::Level 2 subhead: U.S. Immigration Policy 
 :::Level 2 subhead: Whom to admit 

 Also, the book appears to have been written for a middle school or high school audience because the language is simple and the pages are laid out like a brochure with cartoonish-like graphics and fonts in various sizes and colors. It is defininately not an academic treatment of the topic. 

 :*This reference does not address the claim; it contains no definition of "American" on the cited page.  •
