The 15year extension is needed to ensure and guarantee that persons with limited English proficiency are assured that they have access to ballot language. which is often confusing to the voter.

A naturalized American has the same rights under citizenship as a nativeborn American.

Yes. they are Americans. but they have limited English proficiency. Do not punish Americans for that. stimulate voter participation.
