This is why we have the Amendments. As they say, "If it is broke, or at least sucking because the country has evolved and the Constitution hasn't, fix it."
I don't think a native-born citizen is any less likely to be traitorous or selfish than a naturalized one, especially after 35 years, as lordjeebus suggested.
The idea that some people shouldn't enjoy a particular right ONLY because they weren't born on native soil seems... inefficient, I guess, not to mention unfair. There are better ways to separate the chaff from the grain.
