Letter body: 

Our grandchildren were born in London. They're American citizens because their parents are American citizens.

They did not get British citizenship or dual-citizenship simply by being born in the United Kingdom. Birthright citizenship  doesn't make sense. Babies should take the citizenship of their parents.
