And it can also be a burden. If you are born on US soil to non-US nationals and therefore become an accidental American you are subject to US tax laws on worldwide income. In the UK at least banks will not sell you financial products with tax implications (pensions, tax exempt savings schemas (ISA's to the locals)) because of the US reporting requirements. And getting your citizenship revoked requires lawyering so its a PITA. I know some Americans will find it hard to believe but there are people who want out of this system and feel trapped in it.
