No, no U.S. state has this prerogative. The rules for acquisition of United States citizenship are set out in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, which is a uniform legislation as required by the constitution, which determines in its Article I, section 8, clause 4 that Congress shall have power "To establish a uniform Rule of Naturalization."
