Ex parte Knowles, 5 Cal. 300, California Supreme Court (1855), held that the states can naturalize: Briefly, Congress makes the INS rules, the states implement the rules. Moreover, Ex parte Knowles is crucial, because they also held that there was no such thing as a "citizen of the United States" at that time (1855)! I hope this helps.
