| Notes 15 and 21 are significant for "island citizens" under customary laws of peace treaties like the 1898 Treaty of Paris (Art. 9), 1895 Treaty of Shimonoseki (Art. 5), or 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty (Art. 26), Treaty of Taipei (Art. 10, 11). The Taiwan Relations Act places the SFPT cession of Taiwan outside the definition of the United States in the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952. The cession is not a US outlying possession for obtaining US nationality as a "non-voting citizen" like American-Samoans. Trust territories and self-governing dominions under military government are not treated as US possessions (eg. dependent areas) for purposes of the "head tax" orginated by the Rules of Chargeability. The Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed in 1943, but the Chinese Exclusion Case still the basis of exclusion of any aliens by the US courts or officials. Gonzales v. Williams clarifies how insular status of any kind places the cessions into a category outside the Chinese Exclusion Case and inside the dominion of the USA for the Chinese Civil Rights Cases cited in Downes v. Bidwell, if meeting the definition of un-incorporated territory. Self-governing dominions of military government are still un-incorporated territory for the equal protections of the 14th Amendment. |
