That's not the definition that is commonly accepted. The term 'national' when used as a noun is interchangeable with citizen. This is what dictionary.com says about the noun 'national':

National, noun:

1. A citizen of a particular nation. See Synonyms at citizen.

2. A contest or tournament involving participants from all parts of a
   nation. Often used in the plural.

The people who may legally live in any given nation cannot be easily defined as a right to reside is often covered under numerous different laws. Among those who can legally live in the US include: US citizens, Canadians or Mexicans on a TN visa, H1-B visa holders, Australians on an E-3 visa, refugees, and the spouses of most of the afore mentioned categories.

allowed to hire US nationals inside US territory.

This is not true regardless of which definition of national is used. Who can be hired in the US is a more complex issue than who can live there :) For example, the spouses of TN visa holders cannot work in the US but the spouses of E-3 visa holders can.
