Title
Alien Land Law, 1923
Description
In 1923, the Montana State Legislature passed an Alien Land Law, one of many passed in the early 1900s. These laws were intended to prevent the ownership of land by immigrants, particularly Chinese and other non-white immigrant groups. California's Alien Land Law, which was one of the first, was repealed in 1952 by a ruling stating that it was in violation of the 14th Amendment. In 1955, Montana's Alien Land Law was also deemed unconstitutional.
