a legal alien cannot vote or sponsor people over to the US and they need to have a permanent residents card in order to work and travel within the US. A natural born citizen is some one who is born in the US and is a American citizen. They can vote, sponsor relatives over, etc.

In the US there's no legal difference between natural and naturalized citizens (with one exception: only "natural-born" citizens can be President). Broadly, there are two things that will lose a US citizen their citizenship: 1. Deliberately renouncing it (and even then, you've got to work at it); 2. Committing (and being convicted of) treason.
What is the difference between naturalization and citizenship?
I believe that the questioner has their terminology confused. There are two types of US citizenship: NATURAL-BORN and NATURALIZED. Natural-born is what the name implies - they are born in the U.S.. Naturalized citizens are those who were born as citizens of other countries and applied to become U.S. citizens by studying for the privilege and then renounced their foreign citizenship and swore allegiance to the U.S. when they took the oath of citizenship.
