I mean, the North American continent is also not white Europeans' to inhabit. So - I don't see any problem with this, times change. And other countries are not US' to make choices for.
But some humiliation after all that "checks and balances" pride will be refreshing eventually. It's an obvious and thus little seen truth that "checks and balances" can be used to build any kind of mechanism. Your country has achieved private surveillance and private censorship and private racial segregation. You'll deliver.
It actually amazes me how resilient its be. The major check on this is the senate and the supreme court but while the founders realized there would be all sorts of parties and philosophies vying for control it did not seem to occur to them that such a massive number of self respecting people would go against freedom, democracy, individual rights and essentially everything the country was built on. They ultimately assumed they would be americans.
