Ownership of private property

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?

No, that's not an individual, that's a government.

Sure. Then we can confiscate it when we arrest him.

If they are willing to buy land here and build on it, work here and spend their money here and live here, I think they should have citizenship. Those are the kind we WANT here, the ones who want to take part in our society, not simply use it as a big ATM to funnel money back into some other country.
