You missed something...NATURALIZATION AND CITIZENSHIPCongress' power over naturalization is an exclusive power; no State has the power to constitute a foreign subject a citizen of the United States.1131 But power to naturalize aliens may be, and was early, devolved by Congress upon state courts of record.1132 And States may confer the right of suffrage upon resident aliens who have declared their intention to become citizens and many did so until recently.1133

This only defines the states from the country in that a state may grant suffrage (and other privileges) but not citizenship.
For the purposes of our discussion, Texas can accept Ted Cruz as a resident and even allow him to vote but cannot bestow citizenship.

That LII cite contains some serious errors, misstating the contents of certain SCOTUS precedents.

For example, it cites Rogers v. Bellei as speaking to the subject of residency (of the citizen parent) precedent to the birth. That case is on the subject of residency (of the child) subsequent to birth. The piece falsely asserts that most of the categories in 8 USC 1401 are not naturalized.
