They were born in Maryland, and apparently quite skilled (or at least skilled at cheating their way through their studies, if not genuinely technically skilled).

I would imagine they lied about having a felony conviction on their job applications, and that for whatever banal reason any background check service they used didn't flag it, or the contractor was so grossly incompetent they didn't even check.

> "most Americans of their intelligence would be aware"

that would still leave up to 49% Americans not being aware. so how did you conclude that they were not Americans? Also, how did you measure their intelligence?

> "slightly more common among immigrant families than locals"

even if true, how did you conclude that these were not Americans?

> "Americans, on average, are more individualist and hesitate more when asked by family to do something criminal"

even if on average Americans are more so, how did you conclude that these were not Americans?

> "A lot of immigrants eventually adopt anglicised names"

from your sentence it seems a lot of them don't. so how did you conclude that these were not Americans?

It would be a disaster for immigrants in your area if you were ever hired into some kind of investigative/law enforcement role.

These are not remotely indicators that someone is an American citizen.

I take it you're not in HR at the CIA or FBI, which vet applicants' families for a reason. i.e. how long ago applicants and/or their families came to the US does help predict their loyalties... It might not be a strong nor fair predictor, but it's not zero either.

We are all Americans but some are more American than others.

I'm not.

Bet you're not even in HR at the CIA or FBI

If their names were Eric and Donald Jr., surely they wouldn't have been doing petty crimes like these two...

I mean it's the DHS. Let's not pretend they're known for competence or hiring the best and brightest. Glorified chimps with ties and guns.

That was not AT ALL what was implied and you know it.

I too am shocked at the level of federal access that was afforded to these non-Americans that clearly also hold a disdain for the country.

They are US citizens, though. Kinda shitty that everyone is just assuming based on their names that they aren't.
