Not completely true. Not sure why or how it works, but I was born in the US and am a dual citizen.

My parents were Canadians who became US citizens, had 3 US born kids and moved back to Canada where we all became naturalized Canadian citizens who still hold US citizenship.

Might have more to do with having Canadian parents though.
