If that comes to the US, it will upset many ethnic groups. The Irish in NYC consider themselves Irish, and they still celebrate St. Patty's day, or as some argue, St. Paddy’s, with a parade. Several other ethnic groups have similar events. To take that identity away, and claim that they're all Americans because they hold a passport, would start a war.
I'm afraid there's something more insidious afoot. They want everyone around the globe to lose their identity, and become a "world citizen." Some, from within the internationalist elite, wish to destroy the Westphalian system of nation states. There are two groups of internationalists fighting about that now, where one wants to keep the state with porous borders, while the other wants them destroyed with no borders. You can find that being discussed in several university lectures, and papers on the topic, today.

@trevorhoward2254 Yes, I understand that. What brought that about was transnational trade, and a want to appease the internationalist's trading partners, especially with the collapse of colonialism after WWII.
It is the same internationalist elite that pulls the strings of the politicians and UN dignitaries in both the US and UK. In other words, both nations are oligarchies, and are run by the wealthy internationalists, but the governments deny that. It has been that way since 1901 between the two nations, as the so-called "special relationship" has its roots there.
There is a fight between the internationalists now, where some want to destroy the Westphalian state system and borders altogether, while others wish to keep an illusion of a democratic state with porous borders. In the end, it's about the internationalist's profit from transnational trade, and continuing their global exploitation, which they blame the public's morals and culture for hampering. The internationalists, who have no loyalty to any nation's people, are willing to go to any length to keep that trade and profit continuing.

@georgehetty7857 The internationalists do not care about a nation's politics, since they'll do business with anyone or any nation, because it's solely about making money. Through the years, the internationalists willingly did business with with the Soviets, the Nazis, Imperial Japan, Fascist Italy, and the list goes on. They have no loyalty for any nation or people.
Years ago, Carroll Quigley, professor of history at Georgetown University, who taught Clinton and Pelosi, stated that "It is this power structure which the Radical Right in the United States has been attacking for years in the belief that they are attacking the Communists."
He also stated:
“There does exist and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act. In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for 20 years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret record.” ― Carroll Quigley
“The powers of financial capitalism had another far-reaching aim, nothing less than to create a world system of financial control in private hands able to dominate the political system of each country and the economy of the world as a whole. This system was to be controlled in a feudalistic fashion by the central banks of the world acting in concert, by secret agreements arrived at in frequent meetings and conferences. The apex of the system was to be the Bank for International Settlements in Basel, Switzerland, a private bank owned and controlled by the world's central banks which were themselves private corporations. Each central bank...sought to dominate its government by its ability to control Treasury loans, to manipulate foreign exchanges, to influence the level of economic activity in the country, and to influence co-operative politicians by subsequent economic rewards in the business world.” ― Carroll Quigley, Tragedy and Hope: A History of the World in Our Time
