It would appear that most Americans are not aware of American law.
CONSENT OF THE CITIZENRY
“ Our theory of government and governmental powers is wholly at variance with that urged by appellant herein. The rights of the individual are not derived from governmental agencies, either municipal, state or federal, or even from the Constitution. They exist inherently in every man, by endowment of the Creator, and are merely reaffirmed in the Constitution, and restricted only to the extent that they have been VOLUNTARILY SURRENDERED BY THE CITIZENSHIP to the agencies of government. The people's rights are not derived from the government, but the government's authority comes from the people. The Constitution but states again these rights already existing, and when legislative encroachment by the nation, state, or municipality invade these original and permanent rights, it is the duty of the courts to so declare, and to afford the necessary relief. The fewer restrictions that surround the individual liberties of the citizen, except those for the preservation of the public health, safety, and morals, the more contented the people and the more successful the democracy.”

But once consent to be governed is granted, via citizenship, that endowment has been surrendered / waived by the citizenry. Why? Because mandatory civic duties abrogate endowed natural rights, natural and personal liberty, absolute ownership of private property, etc, etc.
So citizens have no endowed rights, thus cannot come BEFORE the sovereign people with Creator endowed rights.
Restating the Declaration : All men have Creator endowed rights that governments were instituted to secure.
THESE FOLKS ARE SUPERIOR.
All those who consented to be governed, descended in status to subjects of the government and serve it.
THESE FOLKS ARE INFERIOR.

This is lunacy. Mandatory civic duties DO NOT abrogate my absolute ownership of private property
Should the US government always put US citizens first?
Yes
No
No.
The US government should put the Constitution first.
And if the Constitution doesn't do what's best for the American people, then we should change it. It contains a procedure for how to do that.
If we simply said, "The US govt should put US citizens first", then "what's best for US citizens" would change every week (or more often), depending on the pressures of the various mobs, the coverage of the "news" media, and the whims of whatever group has the biggest microphone that week.
It's why the Constitution required that we have a Republic, not a Democracy.
