A List of Countries Where Americans Cannot Own Land
Many foreigners are upset about SB 17
SB 17 just passed in the Texas House and is almost on it’s way to Governor Greg Abbott’s desk.
SB 17, as it is currently written and amended, would prohibit citizens from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran from purchasing land in Texas.
Foreigners petitioned our government for redress of grievances yesterday as the Chinese swarmed the Texas Capitol led by Rep Gene Wu, the Texas Representative from China.
Rep Gene Wu can be seen in the below video yelling that the bill is “racist.”
