Well they were lying about being white right? Since that’s an eligibility criteria setup by the 1906 law you are here to defend.

Help me understand your logic. Because the law had one invalid eligibility criterion in 1906 means we can’t enforce the law against people who lie about other things?

From 1906 to 1952 the eligibility criteria for naturalization included exceptions for fraud and for race.

You are here to say “that’s a good law actually, because fraud is bad. So we should enforce this law and retroactively denaturalize those who didn’t meet the criteria at the time.”

You act confused when people tell you this is stupid and racist.

Help me understand your logic.
