From the 14th Amendment :

Citizenship Clause: Grants U.S. and state citizenship to all persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction, overturning the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford decision.

>>>

"subject to its jurisdiction" Should be a key component in any question of "Who is an American Citizen".

>>>
From such parents, children inherit not only family ties and traditions, but an understanding of America’s history, its founding principles, and the freedoms and sacrifices that have made the United States an extraordinary nation.
>>>

I would agree with the above statement . . . but, all too often, 'We' seem to be failing to teach those very things. It appears to be the case that far too many 'American's are bent on NOT teaching those very things.

And I find it appallingly distressful that racist clowns like barak obama and whoopi goldberg can scream "RACIST White America" . . . Right after they have risen to the top of their respective professions in this so-called 'racist White America'.

Citizenship and allegiance have a connection to parentage as well as place of birth. A person’s attachment to a country is rooted in the allegiance, family ties, and upbringing inherited from his parents. The connection is established by parents who themselves were born on U.S. soil, rather than by foreign-born parents who later became citizens. From such parents, children inherit not only family ties and traditions, but an understanding of America’s history, its founding principles, and the freedoms and sacrifices that have made the United States an extraordinary nation. That inherited understanding will form a powerful and lasting bond of loyalty to our country.
