They sung the hymn the authentic Samoan way...and that's how you do it - not like a lot of fake Samoan  performances these days that are sung R&B or opra style. ONA LEA LA UA AVEA NEI 'OUTOU MA TAGATAANU'U O AMELIKA, E MAFAI ONA SAPASAPAIA E SE ISI O 'OUTOU A'U NEI E FIA MAUA SA'U GREEN CARD MA SA'U VISA?

@fake1009 cant vote and do everything that a US Citizen can do alot of rights are not their until fully becoming a Citizen. Amerika Samoa is only half of the Samoan Islands the people from Amerika Samoa are US Nationals but the other half of Samoa Western Samoa are a independent Country so they have to have a VISA or GREEN Card to come to the USA.

[fake1009]

thanks for answering. By the way how is a US National regarded compared to a US citizen?

[supersmasher99]

@fake1009 yes American Samoa are just US Nationals they still have to take the test to become Citizens of the US.

[emanresu808]

Samoans born in American Samoa are US national. Like everybody else, Samoans who are born in the US are US citizens.

[fake1009]

so samoan's are only American National's?

[JSharmaine]

Samoans and the USA all the way!!!
