Being born in the U.S. qualifies one as a citizen of the United States.
If one is not a citizen, one may apply to take the citizenship test after the requisite stay and the fees are paid.

You are a citizen of the US by two means: either being born on US soil or Immigration.
Anyone born on American soil is a citizen, which is why some illegal immigrants risk crossing the border when they are pregnant. If their child is born across the US border, they are automatically a citizen. Also, children born on military bases are considered American citizens as well as being eligable to apply for dual-citizen in the host country. This is because of agreements between the US and our allies that our military bases are considered US soil no matter where in the world it is.
Immigrants are required to apply for green cards, and then to take a test about American history and civics. If they pass, they go through a swearing in ceremony and become full-fledged citizens.

Being born in the US makes you a citizen automatically. Or you could go the route of my own grandparents -- and immigrate to the US, apply for citizenship and get naturalized.
