They must be the "some 420 Japanese" who were mistakenly naturalized.

Those properties may not have been authorized by the US government. Most of
their properties were farmlands developped by their own. But the US
government didn't officially admit them as their properties. Simply they had
been owning properties that are not officially theirs, just like the ones of
the native Americans who were not authorized as American citizens. I guess
there were a lot of such ambiguous lands in California in the beginning of
the 20th century. Every decent person could picture to himself like that,
and only a stupid Nazi boy like you couldn't.
