So I hear all these people and the media cry about it being "racist". But i noticed how none of of them(including Vance himself and his supporters) are saying that this statement is wrong or incorrect.

Yet the 1790 immigration law exists.
You're right. We should remove the Germans.
They were citizens under that law.
Ha ha ha ha. Completely wrong.
The process for citizenship wasn't clear even by the war of 1812, which is where the Impressment crisis came from with the British. By 1790, it wasn't even entirely clear that state citizens were federal citizens.
The illegal immigrants, that were former Hessian mercenaries, who's sole purpose was to overthrow the US government, whom were abandoned by the Prussians, were just fully naturalized citizens because 'whuite'.
Now who is asserting magic dirt?
They weren't disqualified from citizenship via the 1790 law.
