“how would free trade GOP’ers like to have Chicoms buying up homes in their affluent neighborhoods.”
They did this when Hong Kong was going to go over to communist China.
I know of 2 homes that were sold in the $800k class in Glendale, CA..
Being a homeowner they got green cards and also government $250k loans @ 3%.
Those were the Hong Kong Chinese unsure of Chicom intentions. Today many have returned to HK and are comfortable with dealing with the Mainland, however their homes are still kept in Canada as a backup just in case PRC destabilizes or goes anti capitalist. The buyers of the US will be the new rich of the PRC. Many of them will act like princes and princesses, and are very materialistic and will look down at anyone of lesser class stature. Have fun neighbors.

Isn’t that great. Chinese investors can be Obama’s version of Bush’s Mexican illegal alien army.
