Can you show me where I said immigrants were grandfathered in after 1789?

A few major notes:
1) immigration was a state issued until 1875 when the supreme court ruled it was a federal issue.
2) many years passed before major federal legislation was passin 1924
3) Trump’s very good position was that the legislature needed to have a discussion and pass some laws that he could follow instead of the bureaucracy hodgepodge.
sorry I may have misread this.
That would make children eligible, and immigrants since Independence who became citizens of a state would be grandfathered in, making their future children also eligible.”
