Per Grok: 

Most of these historical provisions were invalidated by U.S. Supreme Court decisions (e.g., Oyama v. California in 1948 and Sei Fujii v. California in 1952, citing Fourteenth Amendment equal protection violations), repealed by voter initiatives or legislation, or rendered unenforceable. Today, very few (if any) states retain active broad constitutional bans like Oklahoma's original form.Current RestrictionsModern restrictions are typically statutory rather than constitutional, often limiting foreign (non-citizen) ownership of agricultural land or property near sensitive sites, and many target specific "countries of concern" (e.g., China). About 24-29 states have some form of statutory limits on foreign ownership of agricultural land, but these are not embedded in constitutions.Oklahoma's restriction remains rooted in its constitution (implemented via statutes like 60 O.S. § 121), making it rarer in its constitutional basis compared to the mostly statutory approaches elsewhere today. Enforcement varies, and some states' laws face ongoing legal challenges on constitutional grounds.
