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.

That’s right. The answer to my question no doubt lies in my posts from last year when the Dred Scott decision was handed down.

But the article actually states that the Constitution clearly states so.

There is nothing about that in the Constitution.

And the Dred Scott is mentioned separately, but not as if it quoted the Constitution where it says no negroes or Chinese...or FTM that only white people are allowed.
