YES! It’s about time!
China does not own the US Of A. Congratulations to Texas for standing up to the chicom bullies.
Entities from California, Illinois, New York?
Long hard road back but it comes down to the states as it always was. The feds found ways to offer the carrot so they could get their foot in the door
I have never understood why we let foreign persons and entities buy property in the US. Perhaps certain foreign individuals could buy individual homes (no more than one at a time as a residence) but otherwise no.
And sorry, China entities and Chinese nationals should be OUT of this country. Lets start with them.
Quite frankly if 99% of all colleges and universities went out of business that would be a good thing.
Just starting to feel like BURN IT DOWN is a good idea and since we’re going to end up there maybe we SHOULD start the fire.
I really wish other states would similarly wake up to the Chinese taking over the U.S. by simply BUYING it. When I moved out of NYC, a good deal of the reason I moved was that the Chinese were buying up Queens and Brooklyn. You saw people that didn’t look like they had the proverbial pot to relieve themselves in pony up cash to buy any and all houses and condos for sale. They didn’t look for mortgages, they paid CASH. Sometimes actual greenbacks in shopping bags (I would not accept their greenbacks when I sold my home, as they could have been counterfeit). And one wondered where such people of obviously modest means got that kind of money to buy properties for cash. Then I heard someone give the answer: the local Chinese churches got money from China and distributed the funds to congregants—money laundering. So China was buying these properties through these church members. We wondered how this could possibly be legal, or how it could be legal for China to be buying up millions of acres of farmland in flyover country or large businesses like Smithfield. But, a few bucks greasing the right legislators’ palms, and there will be no prohibition of these invaders buying our country out from under us.
I never understood why any foreigner could buy property in the US. Renting OK, but not buying.
GOOD!!!!
Maybe we can get other states to join that!
This is a step in the right direction, but the counter move to this will be that foreign entities will simply incorporate in friendly Blue states and claim violation of the Privileges and Immunities clause of the U.S. Constitution. States have engaged in compacts to share data about U.S. citizens to deprive them of privacy and rights such as driving privileges, but have been very slow to do the same with foreign owned companies.
An Anerican cannot own even a square inch of land in China.
Foreign entities? How about illegal immigrants?
100% in agreeance with this bill to ban China, Russia, Iran and other countries from purchasing land in the state of Texas. Should be nationwide in fact - that you have to be a citizen, or resident alien working toward citizenship to own land.
