My guess is that these are people who were born here, moved abroad and then renounced or otherwise lost their U.S. citizenship. Should such a person then move back to the USA, they would have to get an immigrant visa, and would thus show up in the stats as US-born.

Also a very few people (children of foreign diplomats) born here are not US citizens, and would thus need an immigrant visa (or lax US government) in order to live here.
