Declaration of Intent for Harry Stanford
Immigration and emigration-United States-Forms. Stanford, Harry P., 1867-1944.
Harry P. Stanford emigrated from Canada to the United States in 1872. This document establishes Stanford's intent and eligibility to become a naturalized citizen of the United States. This practice dates back to the Naturalization Act of 1795 and requires that the immigrant renounce loyalty to the country of birth and that country's leaders. One's Declaration of Intent was crucial for the purposes of land acquisition and supporting the right of the immigrant to remain in the United States.

Article from Missoulian about Chinese leper from September 14, 1883
This article recounts a visit by two doctors to a "poor devil" known to Missoulians as "Chinaman Jim" and "Lee Kim." While the account is sympathetic to the man stricken with leprosy, the depiction of Chinese neighborhood in Missoula is less than flattering.
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 California's Alien Land Law, which was one of the first, was repealed in 1952 by a ruling stating that it was in violation of the 14th Amendment.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.

Listing of Chinese Restaurants from Missoula Polk directory, 1915

Letter from Senator James Murray to the American Legion, 1956
In this letter, Senator James Murray expresses concerns regarding the McCarran-Walter Act (also known as the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952). Before the bill became law, Murray opposed it in favor of a more liberal immigration bill proposed by Senators Herbert Lehman (New York) and Hubert Humphrey (Minnesota). In this letter, Murray endorses an amendment to the Act (S. 1206), which would provide legal immigrants more avenues through which to fight or resist deportation. One the primary problems at the center of this debate is the immigration of refugees from Eastern Europe that fled to Western Europe after during the expansion of Communism after World War II. While supporters of McCarran-Walter were cautious not to expose the United States to foreign ideologies and potential subversives, critics, such as Murray, believed that welcoming refugees would bolster America's moral standing vis-a-vis the Soviet Union and other Communist countries.

Letter to President Harry S Truman in favor of veto of McCarran-Walter bill, 1952
This letter from a number of Democratic senators, including James Murray, expresses support of President Truman's veto of the McCarran-Walter bill on immigration in 1952. The first two signers, Herbert Lehman and Hubert Humphrey, would introduce an alternate bill shortly after Truman's veto. Eventually, Congress overrode Truman's veto and McCarran-Walter became law later in 1952.
Letter to Senator Ernest McFarland from proponents of Lehman-Humphrey bill, 1952
In this letter to Senate Majority Leader Ernest McFarland (Arizona), supporters of the Lehman-Humphrey (S. 2842) bill ask McFarland to pressure Senator Pat McCarran (Nevada) to call for hearings regarding the immigration bills before the Senate. This letter provides insight into the various options Senators had to influence legislation. In this case, supporters of Lehman-Humphrey attempted to return the debate back to the Judiciary Committee before putting the matter to vote before the Senate, while at the same time threatening to introduce over 100 amendments to the opposing McCarran-Walter bill (S. 2550) if the matter was not returned to committee.
Letter from Senator James Murray to Reverend G. Beutler, 1953
In this letter, Senator James Murray expresses his support for what is currently known as the Refugee Relief Act of 1953. This act allowed the immigration of 214,000 immigrants and was intended to provide for the legal passage of Southern Europeans and escapees from Eastern Bloc nations. The act was necessitated by quotas established by the Immigration and Naturalization Act of 1952 that would have otherwise prevented the admission of many of the immigrants covered by the act.
