Subject: SLS: Two Classes of Citizens -- The PROOF!
Ex parte Knowles, 5 Cal. 300, California Supreme Court
(1855), held that the states can naturalize:
Briefly, Congress makes the INS rules,
the states implement the rules.
Moreover, Ex parte Knowles is crucial, because they
also held that there was no such thing as a
"citizen of the United States" at that time (1855)!
I hope this helps.
Happy Fourth of July to you and yours too!!
