Between 1940 and 1950 there was an increase in those classified as foreignborn from 12 to 15 percent. This was the result of the reclassification of Filipinos who prior to independence were classified as national rather than foreign born. The removal of racial restrictions from the naturalization laws has resulted in a sharp reduction in the number classified as foreign born. so that today there are probably less than 10 percent of the population who are aliens. In 1900. 59 percent of the population was alien.
