“If a foreign country prohibits Americans from purchasing land in their country, we should do the same to them. The Chinese Communist Party is one of the biggest offenders. The CCP has no place on our nation’s soil.

China would NEVER let us buy farm land a mile from their military installations... and we need to return 'that favor'.

This never should have been permitted in the first place!
Those who say they don’t understand why it’s a bad idea, should have no influence on expansive land purchase decisions to foreign buyers.
In the 1990’s, I used to hear that certain areas of Mendicino, California had marijuana farms owned and operated by Chinese and Koreans. Not a safe area for any curious, wandering Hikers.

Imminent domain. Have the government buy it back and force them to sell.

The Dems will block it in Senate. But at least it forces them to take the vote. I don’t know if this could go through under reconciliation because it’s not a budget item.
Trump has lists of people from other countries that cannot enter because of security reasons, perhaps the same type of list to prohibit land purchases by adversaries in an EO. Of course it will be challenged but it might be upheld scotus because of legitimate security concerns. Could also narrow EO to prevent adversaries from being a certain distance from US military installations or other sensitive areas which could cover most of the nation.

The day after the house fire I started getting “cash for your house!” snail and email.
It has since exponentially increased.
Add constant phone calls though I’ve no idea how they got my number.

And it’s THEM.

If I’m having a really bad day I answer the phone just for the fun of screaming FU!!! into their ear.

It’s the little joys in life.

Ban it and then require all land owned by unfriendly nations to be sold or to acquire those lands through some sort of eminent domain or outright expropriation with a law forbidding foreign ownership of land, just like most other nations have. If the Democrats filibuster the appropriate legislation then do what can be done with Executive authority.

Should add a clause that if a country that was allowed to buy farmland eventually become hostile towards the US... their land would be forfeit and auctioned to Americans within 30-60 days.

How in the world is this not a national security risk under homeland security, it should be confiscated immediately

You know the answer.

Ironically, having lived out in the country, I remember driving by lots of pumpkin fields where there are pumpkins lying on the ground, rotting.

NO country should be able to buy American farmland.

Period.
