The Texas Senate advanced a bill to restore the rightful lawful residents to own a homestead, investment property, and commercial businesses.
FOX 26 Political Reporter Greg Groogan explains what the bill means and how it affects purchasing land in Texas.In a bid to safeguard Texas energy, food supply, minerals, and military installations, State Senator Lois Kolkhorst has gained approval in the upper chamber for a ban on Texas land ownership by companies controlled by a quartet of governments hostile to the United States.
Kolkhorst's original proposal barred land ownership by any non-citizen immigrant from China, Russia, North Korea and Iran, drawing angry allegations of discrimination. "We are not trying to target people. We are trying to target nations that pose a security risk to this great nation of ours," said State Senator Juan "Chuy" Hinojosa, a McAllen Democrat who voted in favor of the bill."We want to always be the nation where people have the opportunity to flee tyrannical rule and have the opportunity to live the American dream," said State Senator Tan Parker, a Republican from Flower Mound.
