How we cite our quotes: (Law.Section)
Quote #1
"That all white persons, aliens, (accredited foreign ministers, consuls, or agents, their families and domestics, excepted) who, after the passing of this act, shall continue to reside, or who shall arrive, or come to reside in any port or place within the territory of the United States, shall be reported..." (Naturalization.4)
"All white persons." That's not even trying to hide racism. This is a wonderful example of tyranny in action, as it specifically refers to white people to be treated differently under the law.
Quote #2
"That it shall be lawful for the President of the United States, whenever he may deem it necessary..." (Friends.2)
Whenever the president deems it necessary. That's tyranny in a nutshell, and exactly the kind of unilateral power the colonists revolted against and designed the Constitution to prevent.
Quote #3
"the President of the United States shall make public proclamation of the event, all natives, citizens, denizens, or subjects of the hostile nation or government, being males of the age of fourteen years and upwards, who shall be within the United States, and not actually naturalized, shall be liable to be apprehended, restrained, secured and removed, as alien enemies." (Enemies.1)
Hmm. Throwing people out, some as young as fourteen, without even the pretense of a jury trial? That's a little suspect.
