Its normal to feel loyalty to ones native land.
If it were not important they wouldnt have written Article 2, Section 5 in the Constitution.

The Founders forged Clause 5 of Article 2 of the Constitution to protect America from a foreign-born President holding dual or treacherous alliances with other countries.
Ironically, the Founding Fathers did this because, at the time of the ratification of the Constitution in 1789, a scandal was enveloping Europe concerning an Austrian government operation where Austrian agents would move to another European country as young men, become popular, and move into powerful elected positions, all the while serving their Austrian homeland.
In more modern times, we have the phenomenon of Adolf Hitler of Austria, who Schwarzenegger has spoken of admiringly, taking over Germany.
America is a wonderful place full of opportunities and is the most open to immigrants anywhere. If an American citizen went to Austria and told them that he wanted to be President he would be laughed at as an outlander. No country in the world would even consider having a foreigner as their President or their Prime Minister.
On top of it all, Arnold Schwarzenegger has never given up his dual-citizenship with Austria, and he is continually involved in Austria's internal politics.
The Arnold camp has talked about how, if he can't become US President he might move back to Austria and become President there. Good. Good riddance, we say.
After all, Arnold has campaigned in Austria before -- for nazi war criminal Kurt Waldheim. At the height of an international scandal in 1986 Arnold said in front of a crowd of family, friends and news media that he didn't care about Waldheim's nazi past, he was going to support him. He was even on campaign posters.

I would recommend the rest of the page.
This is purely an ego/power trip, he has already shown himself willing to lie to advance himself.
