They have not given up on America; America has given up on them.
No, it doesn't owe anything other than to its citizens. To arbitrarily deny a person to visit his homeland (or perhaps he had never been there before, and had to relinquish the virus that's called "US citizenship" due to tyrannical taxation policy, and just wants to visit) is awful.
Of course people can elect to do something, but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Besides that fact, the people of the United States do not have any say in how their government runs.
Ok, what's your point?
People seperate themselves from a tyrannical, overreaching, invasive taxation policy. What is wrong with that? The fact that they declared independence from your sacred country?

Nothing because the country then declares its independence from them and they are kept on outside looking in after that. All good as far as I can see.

But there's no distinction between them and foreign nationals.
