Based on the perception of citizenship as a "hard shell and soft interior" quality, I think this is true based on the position of aliens in US constitutional law. This is because the author tends to imply that the threshold norms have now come to dwell in the same terrain as those that initially occupied it, leading to indecision and conflict. Crucially we see that in the United States, as in other open-minded, self-governing societies, noncitizen status is, in fact, not always completely outside the scope of those institutions, practices, and experiences we call nationhood. Indeed, many of the main characteristics of citizenship do not depend on formal citizenship positions at all, but are extended to individuals based on their personality and national defensive presence. It turns out that the experiences of being a citizen and enjoying citizenship are not always aligned as a practical matter; noncitizens are subjects of what many call citizenship in a variety of contexts (Reich, 2010, 56). Thus, it makes clear that citizenship is not a unitary or monolithic whole: perception is made up of dissimilar conversations designating a variety of overlapping but not always coextensive institutions, experiences, and social practices. Furthermore, this implies that it is easy and without general uncertainty to feel a situation as citizenship and to think of world nationality and border citizenship at the same time, or to be uncertain about which meaning is meant. It is simply astonishing that, when the term is used motivationally, we tend to assume that what is at stake is universal citizenship for formal holders of citizenship status.
