The Assholocaust https://mattlabash.substack.com/p/the-assholocaust -
Here’s the original article I quoted as saying scholars were almost unanimous on Hamilton opposing the alien act. There’s always a few outliers and this dude from middle Tennessee state apparently is one. Interesting his piece contains no citation. The one I cited has many to support the claim https://www.jstor.org/stable/i261237

Yes. The scum were attacking federal property and threatening federal employees. As I recall, the mayor of DC requested them as well. The mayor of LA and the governor of California did not. I read it. The author doesn’t definitively know that. How could he? Might not be known until California does a complete investigation. Reports like the PBS one you incorrectly read suggest this might not be true. So what if they did fire chemical irritants. Simple question, simple answer.

Not what he said. Use his words as I did and stop paraphrasing to support your argument. "it is not meant to contend for a total prohibition of the right of citizenship to strangers, nor even for the very long residence which is now a prerequisite to naturalization, and which of itself, goes far towards a denial of that privilege. " trump is. the only immigrants he's recently allowed in are white South Africans. Oh, and those that pay $5 mil.

where several of the newly-arrived National Guard troops stood shoulder to shoulder behind plastic riot shields. Video showed uniformed officers shooting off the smoke-filled canisters as they advanced into the street, causing protesters to retreat. It was not immediately clear what prompted the use of chemical irritants or which law enforcement agency fired them. What if it's found that national Guard troops fired the chemical irritants? Define your understanding of "support".

the rest of the story... https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-25-02-0282 "In the infancy of the country, with a boundless waste to people, it was politic to give a facility to naturalization;3 but our situation is now changed. It appears from the last census, that we have increased about one third in ten years;4 after allowing for what we have gained from abroad, it will be quite apparent that the natural progress of our own population is sufficiently rapid for strength, security and settlement. By what has been said, it is not meant to contend for a total prohibition of the right of citizenship to strangers, nor even for the very long residence which is now a prerequisite to naturalization, and which of itself, goes far towards a denial of that privilege. The present law was merely a temporary measure adopted under peculiar circumstances and perhaps demands revision.5 But there is a wide difference between closing the door altogether and throwing it entirely open; between a postponement of fourteen years and an immediate admission to all the rights of citizenship. Some reasonable term ought to be allowed to enable aliens to get rid of foreign and acquire American attachments; to learn the principles and imbibe the spirit of our government; and to admit of at least a probability of their feeling a real interest in our affairs. A residence of at least five years ought to be required."

Does this sound like "support" to you? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/national-guard-troops-arrive-in-los-angeles-to-quell-protests-on-orders-from-trump The confrontation broke out as hundreds of people protested in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where several of the newly-arrived National Guard troops stood shoulder to shoulder behind plastic riot shields. Video showed uniformed officers shooting off the smoke-filled canisters as they advanced into the street, causing protesters to retreat. It was not immediately clear what prompted the use of chemical irritants or which law enforcement agency fired them.
