It's the same point I was making:
Your statement that a naturalized citizen can become a legal equal with a
natural born citizen is false.
Furthermore, your statement that that is "the great thing" about this
country implies a uniqueness in that regard. So, on the one hand, since
the statement that a naturalized citizen is a legal equal of a natural
born citizen is false, this country doesn't actually have "the great
thing". And on the other hand, since some other countries DO NOT make
distinctions between naturalized and natural born citizens (some nations
have no citizenship at all, yet still afford equal protection to all
residents), they DO have "the great thing" that this nation lacks.
