I blame the schools.

Harris was born Oct. 20, 1964. At the time of her birth, her father Donald Jasper Harris, was a citizen of Jamaica, and her mother Gopalan Shyamala, was a citizen of India. Therefore, the laws of both Jamaica and India are clear: Kamala Harris was either a citizen of Jamaica, pursuant to Section 3C(b) of the Constitution of Jamaica, or a citizen of India, pursuant to Part II, Sec. 5 of the Constitution of India.

If you are born in the US and your parents are not US citizens, you must choose when you are 20 or 21, I forget. In her case she could choose to be Indian, her mother's nationality, Jamaican, her father's nationality, or the US because she was born there.
