You appear to be making up new definitions for words.

Define naturalization.

Article 1 Section 8 Clause 4

To establish an uniform Rule of Naturalization, and uniform Laws on the subject of Bankruptcies throughout the United States;

St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries 1:App. 184--85, 254--59; 2:App. 90--103

Thus a person naturalized pursuant to the laws of the United States, would undoubtedly acquire every right that any other citizen possesses, as a citizen of the United States, except such as the constitution expressly denies, or defers the enjoyment of; and such as the constitution or laws of the individual states require on the part of those who are candidates for office under the authority of the states. Five years residence, for example, is required by the laws of Virginia, before any naturalized foreigner is capable of being elected to any office under the state. It is presumable that his being naturalized under the laws of the United States would not supercede the necessity of this qualification.

Do note as well the multiple uses of "alien" within that commentary. You can use the "Find" function to ease you in finding the word's usage.
