No, that’s not _ **why** _ you were born in the US, if indeed you were. You do seem to have great difficulty expressing yourself in standard English, though. If you really were born in the US, were these perhaps your parents?

Oh, is that what you have? I would have said that what you have is a small amount of brain damage, or else the burden of a Russian trying to write in English. I cannot imagine any native English speaker composing such an oddly structured sentence, and one so idiomatically Russian. There are a few trolls and Trumpistas around here who can’t write worth a shit, but they don’t exhibit the peculiar grammatical idiosyncrasies that you do.
