Citizenship
In 1952, the McCarran-Walter Act (immigration and Nationality Act of 1952) canceled the Johnson-Reed Act (The Immigration Act of 1924) and made immigration from Japan legal once more. Just as significantly, the McCarran-Walter Act also made the Issei eligible for naturalization. 127 Japanese Americans took their oath as new citizens. June 25, 1953.
