Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed multiple bills on Monday that prohibit Chinese citizens from purchasing land in the state.

In a news release, DeSantis signed bills SB 264, SB 846, and SB 258 into law, noting how he called on his state legislature last year to build upon its efforts to combat corporate espionage and higher education subterfuge carried out by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and its agents.

Clearly, more evidence that he’s controlled by the GOPe and will do the bidding of Wall Street. < /s>

Damn, between the governors of Florida, Oklahoma, George and a few other states, we are FINALLY seeing some reassertion of sensible authority.

DeSantis showing his deep red conservative credentials creates great fear in Trump and his cult followers who lie about DeSantis on a hourly basis.

Yup Ron, it’s only Chinese causing the problems. Should have made it all non US citizens cannot buy land and those who already own have to give it up or get taxed immensely. My guess what Ron signed was a for show action, it will get knocked down in court, discrimination.

If he really wanted to strike a blow at the chicoms, he would have taken away their privilege of visiting Disneyland...

Finally catching up with Oregon.

The Oregon founders imbued its Constitution with many provisions consistent with the “Free Soil” movement, which included soil free of Chinese. While on several different occasions rafts of amendments have sought to purge the constitution of its heritage, the constitution seems to be protected by being long (and perhaps hard to stay awake when reading?) and I understand from a freeper that the anti-Chinese land purchasing clause was overlooked yet again when the most recent bout of purging took place a couple of decades ago.

Gundog—it may have been you, and even if not, can you cite, as it were, chapter and verse?

I am sure fedgov, which has abandoned its federal country protection duties, will take this to court. Mark it.

Hopefully if he’s the nominee and he wins the election he’ll be a good president!

Yes, he should have tried something that has zero chance of happening.

You are an idiot. The CCP is trying to buy land next to every military base in our country. Do you have a clue why?

what he signed won’t last so it’s a waste of time and money for all the time wasted on it by many people.

fight for the right thing, not some half -zzed effort, but that is largely what Ron is about. big shiny “packages”, but not much inside (truly accomplished) if you look beneath the wrapping paper.

Launching missiles from close by reduces their carbon footprint and helps to fight global warming. The Chinese are morally superior to us because they are planning to have a “green” nuclear war?

You know this? How? You sound like you want it to fail.
