I love America and we love them.

It's great.

It's great.

Now let's wreck it with politics.

When we started winning, the U.S.

team started winning, the narrative machine kicked into gear.

Wall Street Journal now, the editorial board, has published a piece titled America's Immigrant Soccer Team.

And then, of course, the weasel John Cornyn amplified it, arguing the team's success really reflects America's historically welcoming immigration system.

Okay.

This is not about soccer.

This is all about politics.

The article is clearly aimed at the ongoing debate over birthright citizenship and the Supreme Court case that is expected to rule on it.

Soccer is just the vehicle.

So let's take their article.

Let's count.

The Journal noted that six of the 26 players on the roster were born outside the United States.

Technically true.

But birthplace is not the real question now, is it?

The question is, how many of those players became Americans?

Five of those six were born to at least one American parent.
