From the book In Search of Equality: The Chinese Struggle Against Discrimination in Nineteenth Century America by Charles J. Mc Clain
Page 363 footnote 4: “In a case decided 12 years later, Kwock Jan Fat v. White, 253 U.S. 454 (1920), the Supreme Court, following the principles laid down in Chin Yow, ordered a Chinese person admitted to the United States on the grounds that federal officials had disregarded evidence plainly relevant to his claim of citizenship. “It is better that many Chinese Immigrants be improperly admitted,” said the Court, “than one NATURAL BORN CITIZEN of the United States should be permanently excludd from his country.”
