a: Young american ~
b: an immigrant
What:
"Every new American - every young American - is like an immigrant. Every new American should learn about the country, should be acculturated (to use an old-fashioned, possibly discredited word). This is true whether the new American comes from across a border or out of a native-born womb. (Sorry for that slightly cringe-making phrase.) If we thought of our children as immigrants, of a kind, in need of acculturation - we would all be better off. "
