If they buy a home here, they are at least investing in OUR COUNTRY. More of the money they earn will stay here. Ownership of private property is also one of the things that sometimes helps a liberal grow into a conservative. I'm not going to get my lacies in a rope about this one.
So whose country is it, if not the citizens?
Are you OK with say, the Communist Chinese government buying up massive amounts of land in the U.S.?
If you're OK with that, how bout Bin Laden? He's got about 300 mil. He could buy up some major commercial landscape with that. The cash flow could fund some serious fun for him.
Whose country is it, if illegal aliens can "own" land? The citizens or the foreigners?
