Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, stands inside the Texas Capitol on Wednesday for a press conference against a Senate bill that has been filed that would prohibit citizens from China and 3 other countries from buying land in Texas.AUSTIN — Rep. Gene Wu, D-Houston, stood inside the Texas Capitol holding a photo of the childhood home he grew up in Houston after emigrating from China.

Wu was among several Democratic lawmakers who decried the bill as racist Wednesday and said it’s a painful reminder of similar legislation that was passed by Congress more than a century ago.“This is especially painful for the Asian American community because we have been down this road before,” Wu said. “It is extremely disappointing and extremely painful for the Asian community to see this continue to happen.

“It doesn’t impact at all people who either are citizens or intend to be citizens of the United States,” Abbott said. “There are people who emigrate lawfully, from China, and it would not impact them at all.”

Play a new card already

Companies have employees working for them who aren’t citizens but are legally working here, especially in technology. If employees can’t buy homes, they won’t be working in Texas.

Of course they do…

Why are Democrats always crying? Do they know other countries have laws like this?

How Sway ?

Democrats decry ANYTHING that goes against their narrative as racist. Folks are getting sick and tired of this grossly overplayed hand.

If either party wanted to protect us they’d ban all corporations (even American) & private equity firms from buying land and property They’re the ones bleeding us dry

How much land can US Citizens own in china?None

Or course because they get kick backs from countries that hate and want to destroy us.

1. It's xenophobic, not racist. Get it right. 2. It could be good policy.

Yeah, we are a bunch of racists here. Pack your bag. GO HOME!!!!

Have these particular Democrats ever gone on 'luxury travel' trips? DMN jrhighdropouts should pose this question to ensure a high level of Democrats as having good enough ethics to make such claims.

We should also ban hedge funds from speculating on land, that will actually help but it doesn’t sound racist enough for republicans.

Same way the lab leak theory was 'racist'

These people are traitors & domestic terrorists. They will gladly “sell” the national/state security to the highest bidder. And if you don’t let them sell out your state or country for personal profit/kickbacks….. You’re a bigoted racist.
