Beginning in 1909 and continuing until after World War II, anti-Japanese
bills were introduced into the California legislature every year. The issue
of U.S. citizenship eventually was decided by the 1922 Supreme Court
decision Takao Ozawa v. United States which declared that Japanese were
ineligible for U.S. citizenship. gFree white personsh had been made
eligible for citizenship by Congress in 1790. Due to some ambiguity about
the term gwhite,h some 420 Japanese had been naturalized, but a ruling by
a U.S. attorney general to stop issuing papers to Japanese ended the
practice in 1906. The Supreme Court ruled that since Ozawa was neither a
gfree white personh nor an African by birth or descent, he did not have
the right of naturalization as a Mongolian.

1913 - California's "aliens ineligible for citizenship" prohibited from land
ownership; only "free white persons" eligible for citizenship; 3 year limit
on land leases; similar laws in 10 other states.
