Texas Scorecard by  Soli Rice December 5, 2022

“There is no reason that the Chinese should own a single acre of Texas land, and we look forward to seeing the Legislature enact a ban this session.”

A new poll released this week by Defend Texas Liberty reveals that the majority of Texas Republican voters want to preserve conservative values and protect the state from outside governments.

For years, China has been buying up Texas land, raising concerns about national security. The poll shows that 82 percent of Republican voters in Texas want to see the Texas government prohibit the Chinese government or Chinese citizens from purchasing land in Texas.

Meanwhile, only 10 percent disagreed, saying that Chinese purchasing Texas land should be unrestricted. Eight percent of voters polled claimed they were “unsure” about the issue.

“I’m very excited to see just how committed Republicans are to our state sovereignty. There is no reason that the Chinese should own a single acre of Texas land, and we look forward to seeing the Legislature enact a ban this session. It’s also clear that Dade Phelan’s criticism of Republicans for pushing bold property tax relief is also a criticism of most GOP voters,” said Jonathan Stickland, former state representative and current leader of the Defend Texas Liberty PAC.

Voters were also asked whether they would vote for a Republican candidate who has voted to weaken pro-life laws in Texas.

Good luck (and I support the idea, too), but I don't think this would stand up to Constitutional scrutiny...

I am outraged this is even a question.

I do. A solid case can be made that it is treason to deal with the enemy,and there can be NO question about that slave state being our enemy.

China owns a lot of the U.S. unfortunately.

That doesn't mean we can't take it back from them.

BTW,while we are at it,how about making it illegal for any Chinese citizen to attend any American school?

As Pogo once said,"We haz met the enemy,and he is us!"

With that being stated @sneakypete I'd make it illegal for several other groups as well; those that are Islamic/Muslim citizens.
