Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Tuesday in Iowa that many illegal alien recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program are "more American than most Americans."

"These kids have come, they've done well, most of these kids there's a lot of them, and they're not just Hispanic, they're Asian-Pacific Islanders as well," Biden said. "And they in fact have done very well. In many cases, they're more American than most Americans because they have done well in school."

If they're "more American" because they've "done well in school" does that mean Americans who perform poorly in school are less American?

If they're "more American" than most Americans does that mean we can blame them for "our" history of slavery and colonization?

Should we be asking them to apologize for slavery and check their American privilege?

How does this definition of "American" work exactly?
