For Moses to say that it can only mean there is absolutely NO DIFFERENCE between what people would call a genealogical Jew and one WHO JOINED Judaism.
Otherwise, Moses could not say a proselyte becomes as one that is born in the land, but CLOSE to one born in the land. But he said TOTALLY AS ONE born in the land. TOTALLY.

Yes... so the lineage of the Israelites/Jews is quite muddied, apparently! No way at all to ever know who is a "true" Jew/Israelite!
