Children of immigrants (born outside of US) DO have to go through a naturalization process. It is bundled with their parents application but the children certainly do need to be declared and allowed residence followed by citizenship.

Fine. Explain what process the children of immigrants go through. I can't imagine a 1 year old filling out any paperwork or taking a test or swearing an oath of loyalty, but you go ahead and explain to us what process the CHILDREN go through.

I do not understand what you are talking about. Children go through naturalization like everybody else. They have separate paperwork that their parents fill out for them. Obviously they do not swear oaths or do tests, but they get their own citizenship documents that are legally separate entities from their parents. A parent can have a green card or citizenship while the child does not and vice versa.
