Right wingers don't care about the laws. Our original Constitution and Bill of Rights are both gender and race neutral. Anyone who was a natural born person was a citizen after 1808.What does it matter? This happens to be 2020! Women weren't allowed to vote in 1866! Do you want 1866 governance for a 2020 nation?Where in the Constitution before 1866 did the constitution mention citizenship for anyone other than white males? Be specific and not opinionated.Our Constitution is our supreme law of the land. All those other laws were unconstitutional after 1808. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights are both gender and race neutral.You just got a stupid problem. . In accordance with laws of the 18th and mid 19th century law blacks and slaves had not citizenship rights.The argument is we have a naturalization clause not any form of Immigration clause. Right wingers simply have a moral problem being legal to our own laws.I know it has nothing to do with any argument that undocumented immigrants should not be counted.Do you know anything about the 3/5th compromise?Well, the 13th amendment was ratified in 1865 so, there's that.You are confusing history with the presentI'm saying as slavery is unconstitutional but the census is, when the census is held, WVERYONE living in the United States MUST be counted.So you're saying slave states should get equal representation in the house of representatives even though they had fewer free whites within their state?"counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed.” The WHOLE NUMBER OF PERSONS.
Pretty cut and dried, no matter the bigotry of the reader.
For folks who are willing to watch us get slaughtered just so they can play with the gun of their choice because the constitution says so, the rest of the document seems worthless.
When was slavery considered unconstitutional what year?
