Nikki Haley (Nimarata Nikki Haley (née Randhawa)) was born Jan. 20, 1972
Her father became a naturalized citizen on Oct. 18, 1977—five years after Nikki was born.
Therefore, Nikki’s father Ajit Singh Randhawa was NOT a natural born U.S. Citizen. He was born in Amritsar, Punjab, India.

Another way of explaining it is this:
If the parents are not citizens, then that means they are citizens of ANOTHER COUNTRY, and have a LOYALTY AND DUTY to that other country.
The children, then, grow up with some loyalty to that other country, too, which makes them loyal to that other country.
