Historically, there are two classes of citizens. Native born and naturalized. Natural born has always been the same as native born.

Not true.

In Wong Kim Ark , the Supreme court made the distinction.

The petition was filed by Ark as a NATIVE born citizen. Part of the decision states-

The right of citizenship never descends in the legal sense, either by the common law or under the common naturalization acts. It is incident to birth in the country, or it is given personally by statute. The child of an alien, if born in the country, is as much a citizen as the natural born child of a citizen, and by operation of the same principle. [p666]

While it says a native born was 'just as much as citizen' as a natural born, it does NOT say a native born is the same as natural born.

It doesn't say there is any difference either.
