Regardless your assertion is flawed by contending what may or may not have been implied by Senators' lack of response at given point in time. What you have to rely on is what they actually did say when they did decide to speak about the citizenship clause and what kind of jurisdiction was required.

And on that critical point they made their intentions clear in plain English. Senator Conness obviously did not reply to every statement made by his fellow Senators during this debate where a myriad of arguments were being made. Such is the case with every great debate on Capitol Hill.

And Conness personal viewpoint was obviously influenced by the fact that he was himself an immigrant.

What you have to rely on is what they actually did say when they did decide to speak about the citizenship clause and what kind of jurisdiction was required.

And the only time they spoke of that was with regard to Indians. Who, in spite of your blatant ignorance, were not in any way similar to immigrants, Chinese or otherwise.
