Countries in the Americas are actually pretty unique in that most of them follow jus soli, where citizenship is granted just by being born in that country. The “old world” mostly uses jus sanguinis where citizenship is determined by family lineage, although some countries grant exceptions.
There’s a lot to be said about the treatment of immigrants in various communities throughout many of these countries, but the issue you’re raising here seems to be a consequence of a pretty decent policy.
It’s weird that America still discriminates against its citizens based on the country of their birth, something they can’t control.

Än immigrant who is an American citizen but wasn’t born in America can’t be president. That is the discrimination I’m talking about.
I’m not sure how much that bothers me
I think you mean republicans still discriminate against people not born here. Everyone else welcomes them.
