Low Wah Suey v. Backus (1912)
nThe statute
in terms applies in general to all aliens.
An alien has been defined to be 'one born
out of the jurisdiction of the United States, and who has not been naturalized under their Constitution and laws.‘ . . . Within this general description Li A. Sim would clearly come, unless her status was changed, as is alleged, by marriage to a Chinaman of American birth, who is consequently an American citizen.
