The correct response is:

**It says that anyone born in the U.S. automatically becomes a U.S. citizen.**

The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, includes the Citizenship Clause which grants citizenship to all individuals born or naturalized in the United States, thereby establishing a broad definition of U.S. citizenship.
