Interesting read on allowing citizenship for Chinese.
While I certainly understand the concern over diversity, I totally object to the statement that the Constitution clearly denies citizenship to blacks or Chinese. It says no such thing.

I wonder what clause they believe denies citizenship to negroes and Chinese and if the matter was clarified by the Civil War amendments.

Perhaps they're relying on the interpretation in the Dred Scott case, which held that a black person has no legal rights. The "reasoning" in that case could be applied to Chinese easily enough.
