I've lived my whole life in America and I've read the Federalist papers, the Constitution, Locke, Voltaire, Paine, and Aristotle. I basically agree with all of the opinions you quoted from the article. If anything, your opposition to pluralistic viewpoints strikes me as more fundamentally anti-American than any of the viewpoints you cite from them.
Complaining about immigrants being not sufficiently American might be a long-standing American tradition, but so is immigrants coming despite that and integrating perfectly fine every time in the long term despite the fear-mongering about jobs and schools. Perfectly agreeing with every single law is not and should not a requirement for people to live in this country, whether they were born here or not.
