so I'll ask you once more- was their anything in the record of the amendment tat explained what they were trying to do, or was it silent

I don't specifically know. But GGG is right that there were other non-citizens running around having babies at the time. If someone can provide something that says "no, we didn't mean the "yellow" ones," I'm open to your point. But absent affirmative evidence on that point (which I'm only saying hasn't been provided, not that it doesn't exist), I think he has a point that there were other well-known groups of potential anchor-baby parents around at the time.

We could move to the next stage of the discussion about which matters more, the realty at the time of the amendment or the stated intentions of whatever minority of amendment supporters was recorded somewhere, but I don't think we need to get that far.

Finally, shouldn't you be watching the Spartans against the Wildcats? It seems surprisingly close at the moment.

Even more finally, I can't think about mid-19th century Chinese immigration without thinking about Ian McShane as Al Swearengen.
