Actually Fabiano Caruana was born in Miami and grew up in New York. He went to Europe to improve his chess skill and briefly played for the Italian team. When he got to the elite level he moved back to the US. Hikaru Nakamura was born in Japan to an American mother and moved to the US permanently when he was 3 years old, so all of his chess training was in the United States. So, on the other hand is a fairly recent immigrant. I believe he’s working on becoming a citizen.
