Description
From 1898 to 1934, Filipinos came here as U.S. "nationals." Then the Philippines moved toward independence and Congress passed exclusionary laws, which changed the status of Filipinos to "aliens". In 1941, Pio DeCano, a Filipino immigrant, won his challenge to a law which prevented Filipinos, as "aliens," from owning land.
