You go to permanent resident line, which, depending on the airport of arrival is either lumped with the USCs or with non USCs.

If you are not a US citizen and do not want to be accused of a false claim of US citizenship, you go into the line for residents unless instructed otherwise by a CBP officer. Depending on the airport, his can be the US Ciitzens/Residents line or the Visitors line. You will really have to read what's written on the signs and if you are unsure either ask or err on the safe side.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
