It did happen, though. Many people who travelled overseas by air in the last two years were denied entry (albeit temporarily) because they tested positive for COVID before their return. A co-worker found themselves in that situation in Greece. It does seem to me that this is unconstitutional and I wonder if it was ever challenged on that basis.

I don’t know how much attention the airline check in staff pay to the place of birth on a passport or whether they are well-versed in the concept of jus Solis (since this does not apply in the UK anymore) but I would certainly be worried about CBP seeing a British passport with a place of birth in the US. They would know with 99.999% certainty that the holder is therefore a USC as the exceptions to the rule are so specific and narrow that they apply to only a few people.
