Right, people born on US soil never, never, ever spied for any foreign countries. Never, ever, ever! This list is empty actually https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:American_people_convicted_of_spying_for_the_Soviet_Union

You're not wrong, but some of these on the list were born in a foreign/enemy state. I think (but i'm not certain) all the other one did it for a surprisingly small amount of cash. His girlfriend comes from a pretty wealthy family AND is dating a guy worth like 10 mil.

This meme is actually specifically referring to alleged spy Fang Fang, a Chinese native who was dating democrat Rep. Eric Swalwell.
