New Florida Bill Passes Banning Chinese Citizens From Buying Land
From oann.com
Florida’s Legislature has approved a bill that forbids Chinese nationals from owning property in the Sunshine State, which Governor Ron DeSantis will be signing into law.
SB 264, also known as “SB 264: Interests of Foreign Countries,” forbids Chinese citizens from “purchasing or acquiring real property” in Florida or from holding more than a minor “indirect interest in such real property.”

The state’s legislators supported the priority bill on a bipartisan basis and highlighted threats to national security as justification for its passing. The law was approved by the Senate in a 31-8 vote and the House with a 95-17 vote.
Bill SB 264’s earlier filing in March and subsequent House amendments prohibited nationals of “foreign adversaries” from owning land. Countries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria were all listed as foreign enemies.
One provision of the amendment offered an exception. For Chinese visa-holders, they would be allowed to own one residence as long as they are registered with a state agency.
Last year, DeSantis stated that the ownership of residential real estate by Chinese firms was a “huge problem” in an interview.

“If you look at the Chinese Communist Party, they’ve been very active throughout the Western Hemisphere in gobbling up land. That is not in the best interests of Florida to have the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) owning farmland, owning land close to military bases,” DeSantis said at a press conference in January.
However, the new legislation is being grievously opposed. Chinese Americans gathered outside and demonstrated on Saturday, chanting “Florida is our home” in front of the Florida State Capitol.
More than 100 people similarly opposed the measure at a committee hearing last month, citing fears that it would result in racial profiling and prejudice. If the legislation were to pass, realtors would face “civil or criminal liability” if they had “actual knowledge” of a transaction’s illegality.
Furthermore, opponents claim that the legislation goes against the 1968 Fair Housing Act, which “protects people from discrimination when they are renting or buying a home” or “engaging in other housing-related activities.” The law forbids discrimination based on racial, ethnic, national, religious, and sexual preferences.
Florida has not been the first state to enact legislation prohibiting Chinese people from owning land as South Carolina’s Senate had approved a law prohibiting “alien land ownership” in late March of this year.
Eleven additional states have also discussed or implemented legislation pertaining to Chinese land ownership. Source
Now the LEFT are going to be screaming blue murder that Governor DeSantis is a Bigot- which could NOT be further from the truth!!
COME LORD JESUS!
Exclusive – Rep. Barry Moore: Biden Sending Troops to Border to ‘Process More People Here Illegally’
And, of course, to get them registered to vote!
From breitbart.com
Rep. Barry Moore (R-AL) in a recent exclusive interview with Breitbart News slammed President Joe Biden’s ordering of as many as 1,500 troops to the southern border in advance of an expected surge when Title 42 expires in just days.
Moore, who is on the House Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, said the troops will be helping to process illegal migrants more rapidly, versus defending the border.

“The troubling thing for me is we know that Title 42 is about to expire and that the CBP [U.S. Customs and Border Protection] is already nothing but concierge and now our soldiers will not be defending the U.S. border, they’re going to be escorting people to the immigration offices and getting their motions to appear in court with their free cell phones and their government-subsidized income, so that’s the concern for me,” he told Breitbart News in an on Friday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest, Hungary.
“It’s not going to be about the soldiers doing their job, it’s going to be about the soldiers process more people here illegally and rapidly,” he said.

Title 42 is a pandemic-era restriction implemented under former President Donald Trump that allowed the CBP to turn away illegal migrants at the border. The restriction ends on May 11, when a surge of thousands of illegal migrants are expected.
According to a U.S. North Command press release, active-duty military personnel will “provide support with duties including data entry, warehousing support, and additional detection and monitoring support efforts.” The command denied that troops would escort or have any direct contact with migrants.
Moore, who is an Alabama Army National Guard veteran with two military bases in his district, also weighed in on the recent revelation that the U.S. Navy recruited a drag queen influencer as a “digital ambassador” to help recruit sailors.
“When you’ve got China testing hypersonic missiles and we’ve got that sort of stuff going on in the media, you know, the military needs to break and kill things and they need to be feared and respected around the globe and I think that, again, undermines our ability to defend our country, it puts our allies in danger,” he said.
“We’re decommissioning ships as China is expanding their navy and if we get into something with Taiwan, that’s going to be huge and that to me — I cannot for life of me, figure out what the Sec Def, General Milley, Joint Chiefs — anybody’s thinking any of this stuff is going to do rather than just endanger soldiers and put us at a disadvantage in a combat situation,” he added.
“The wokeness shows weakness and it puts us in a bad spot and it honestly hurts our recruiting. There are a lot of young men who have no dream or idea right now of serving under this [defense secretary] because, or this commander in chief, because they feel he puts their lives in danger so we cannot hit our recruiting goals,” he said, adding that his nephew currently serves.
“I was a veteran, my brother’s a veteran, and my dad was a veteran, we’ve all served our country, and it’s just frustrating to see them weaken what was so well-respected around the world,” he added.

America has always been in the way of the New World Order. A huge change was needed. That change started with Covid 19 and continues with Biden working with the WEF and the UN and other bad actors to completely destroy America! Bringing millions of illegals over the border is a big part of this nefarious plan.
Biden and his family are being paid by the globalists to do their bidding.
Special place in hell………
COME LORD JESUS!
