Which is understandable, given that the 14th Amendment confers citizenship automatically upon anyone (with very few exceptions upheld by the Supreme Court such as foreign diplomats or hostile forces) born on US soil, regardless of the citizenship of their parents.
Of course that doesn't mean that people born here never renounce US citizenship.
