There's not enough data to tell, but I know there were people complaining about Chinese women coming to the US to have a kid so that the kid can get dual citizenship.

Yeah, I’m confused by separate US borne women line. Are these not Americans in US? Or is this by immigration status?

From the information given, it's probably looking at all children born in the US, since they're US citizens, and then going back and seeing where their parents are from. It doesn't specify citizenship or resident status for the parents. This would count births from tourists and undocumented immigrants.
