外加这个bill的链接，大家可以看看具体的细节和它的status Texas Legislature Online - 88(R) History for SB 147 capitol.texas.gov/BillLookup/history.aspx?LegSess=88R&Bill=SB147 [email protected] Dear Andrea, Thanks for your email. While I appreciate the exception of permanent residence and US.. citizenship, I do not believe this is enough. Every year, hundreds of thousands of Chinese students come to the US for undergraduate and graduate education. After they graduate, many of these highly educated/skilled Chinese stay in the US on working visas, and spend anywhere from several to over ten years to get their permanent residence. According to this bill, they won’t be able to purchase a home in Texas when they work toward their citizenship. This bill reminds me of the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act in the 1880s which prohibited Chinese immigrants. Furthermore, it is not constitutional to ban a group of people from buying houses based on their race or nationality, this will lead to discrimination issues. Hitler in the 1930s started out by restricting Jews from holding real estate properties in Germany. I have firsthand experience of being discriminated against as an Asian and witnessed the increasing hostility towards Asian Americans over the last few years. I bought my first handgun during the pandemic out of fear for my safety even though I had never touched a gun before. This bill will further fuel the current Asian hate. As a mother of two, I am deeply disturbed by this hatred and worry about my kids’ future in the U.S. The bill should prohibit all politically connected land purchases by any foreign nationality or none at all. I strongly oppose singling out several countries and discriminating based on race or nationality. I will mobilize all my friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to vote against this bill shall it stay in its current form. Please forward my thoughts to Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst. Thank you for taking the time to read my email. Best,
他们的上一个回复 Ms. XXX, Thank you for calling and sharing your thoughts on SB 147. The Senator appreciates your comments.

昨天给各个representative 打电话写信，又给提法案的senator 打电话，她的接线员说误伤，会修改language. 回头收到她办公室的回信，说会exclude 绿卡和美国公民。我听了觉得窝火：我当初给她反映过，国人过来工作要拿工作签证，要花上很多年才能拿到绿卡。 他们连工作签证都不准买房子， 这不是明显的就是掐中国人的脖子么，不想中国人过来么。 并且这个bill 提议起来的时候，不可能没有想到过这种情况，人家就是明晃晃的禁止你中国人，不要以为人家是误伤！ 所以我又回信说 要么你禁止所有 有政治背景的土地买卖，要么就谁都不禁止。 只是把几个国家单独列出来是会导致歧视问题的。 我把我的回复贴一下，大家想给她写信的话，可以修改修改。 [email protected] Dear Andrea, Thanks for your email.

赞楼主，尽管我不在德州，但对于单挑出一个国家的移民限制买房还是很震惊的。不过有个建议，华人爱分享所谓给议员意见信的模板，这个不足取。只有各人不同风格相同主题的来信，才会引起政客的重视，能读懂你英文信的受众，必定也是能够自己写英文的。千篇一律才会让政客以为各位没有个性没有自己的需求，把chinese全归为有潜在危胁的与某＂将军＂一样的买家。 还有前几天，我看到一张有关美国族裔收入排名的表，也是惊掉了下巴，因为它的归类法就是细分，里面的亚裔被细分成近10个族裔：印度，菲律宾，台湾，华人（中国），日本，孟加拉国，等等，而其它的，是美国白人，黑人，拉丁裔，和，average American。记得多年前亚裔细分的借口是为了更好地在医疗上倾斜资源以帮助亚裔，有华人就预料到了今天这种细分的广泛用途。什么叫average American? 简直匪夷所思。 所以，我们发声，为了将来后代在美国不被区别对待，既然上帝让我们长了好用的脑瓜子，就献计献策，只为了不被系统性歧视，成为 average American 随意踩踏的的对象。

“I do want to reiterate: factors such as lawful permanent residence and US Citizenship being exempt from restrictions of the bill are among amendments to the legislation that will be considered. ” 这段话让人不寒而栗啊！US Citizenship 和绿卡在一起强调就暗示入籍的华人也会被区别对待，还有 “will be considered” 是很弱的语气。

San Jose, Miami, and Los Angeles have the greatest foreign-born populations at 37.56 percent each. Due to the areas and sort of properties sought by foreign purchasers, the median existing-home sales price among international buyers was $351,800, 15% more than the $305,500 median price for all existing homes sold in the United States. 8% of foreign buyers purchase U.S. homes priced at $1M or more. Chinese buyers had the highest median purchase price, at $476,500, and more than a third – 34 percent – bought a property in California. China and Canada retained their first and second place rankings in US residential sales dollar volume at $4.5 billion and $4.2 billion, respectively. India ($3.1 billion), Mexico ($2.9 billion), and the United Kingdom ($2.7 billion) were the last three countries in the top five on this metric.

我建议写信尽量简单直接 straight to the point. Andrea, I came to US XXX years ago from XXX. As an immigrant, I seriously consider the recent SB147 is nothing but a discrimination bill, which has no way to sugar coat it. I understand the initial concern of national security, I really do, but people''s rights got taken away solely due to country of origin is just flat out wrong and unacceptable. We judge people based on the characters, merit, not skin color, race, gender, country of origin... You must have heard that many times before, because that''s the basic principle of how we should live in society and how we treat each other. I don''t see this bill providing any dignity and respect to people from certain countries at all.
回头收到她办公室的回信，说会exclude 绿卡和美国公民。我听了觉得窝火：我当初给她反映过，国人过来工作要拿工作签证，要花上很多年才能拿到绿卡。 他们连工作签证都不准买房子， 这不是明显的就是掐中国人的脖子么，不想中国人过来么。
并且这个bill 提议起来的时候，不可能没有想到过这种情况，人家就是明晃晃的禁止你中国人，不要以为人家是误伤！
所以我又回信说 要么你禁止所有 有政治背景的土地买卖，要么就谁都不禁止。 只是把几个国家单独列出来是会导致歧视问题的。
我把我的回复贴一下，大家想给她写信的话，可以参照，最好自己写否则人家可能怀疑是假的spam。
即使你没有投票权你也可以打电话，人家不会（也没办法）check你是不是公民，有没有投票权，，我打本区representative时问我要了地址，打给那个senator Kolkhorst时候他们只是简单问我是否在德州。我准备过两天再代表我老公去打电话表示反对。
即使是外州的人也可以打电话表示反对一下，打电话的多了，怎么都是压力， 众志成城嘛。他们毕竟还要考虑自己的党派选票以及人心所向。如果大家都骂他，那他们得掂量掂量是否要冒天下之大不韪。你不表示反对 他们会觉得在美国的asian american不在乎甚至支持这个政策呢。
这里可以查询到你当地representative. https://wrm.capitol.texas.gov/home 这里是起草这个bill的senator Kolkhors办公室号码： (512) 463-0118 他们办公室相对来讲比较注重feedback, 毕竟是他们搞起来的，搞砸了也不好看。 这个链接是给州长的留言： gov.texas.gov/apps/contact-us/opinion

Dear Andrea,
Thanks for your email. While I appreciate the exception of permanent residence and US.. citizenship, I do not believe this is enough.
Every year, hundreds of thousands of Chinese students come to the US for undergraduate and graduate education. After they graduate, many of these highly educated/skilled Chinese stay in the US on working visas, and spend anywhere from several to over ten years to get their permanent residence. According to this bill, they won’t be able to purchase a home in Texas when they work toward their citizenship. This bill reminds me of the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act in the 1880s which prohibited Chinese immigrants.
Furthermore, it is not constitutional to ban a group of people from buying houses based on their race or nationality, this will lead to discrimination issues. Hitler in the 1930s started out by restricting Jews from holding real estate properties in Germany. I have firsthand experience of being discriminated against as an Asian and witnessed the increasing hostility towards Asian Americans over the last few years.

As a mother of two, I am deeply disturbed by this hatred and worry about my kids’ future in the U.S.
The bill should prohibit all politically connected land purchases by any foreign nationality or none at all. I strongly oppose singling out several countries and discriminating based on race or nationality. I will mobilize all my friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to vote against this bill shall it stay in its current form.
Please forward my thoughts to Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst. Thank you for taking the time to read my email.

不管移民status 如何，或者在不在德州，大家都去发一下吧。
古巴也上黑名单了，禁运的更厉害，德州为啥不敢把古巴裔的列上。
你问啥还说中文？
“哈，我以为他/她是中国人”
这个理由是多么的合情合理，政府都写进法律了
然后其它美国白人听了攻击方的理由，恍然大悟，哦哦哦，原来这样啊，您还是好人，只是看错了，以为对方是中国人， 黄油们听到这种辩解马上说，看看，没有歧视华人吧，他只是看错国籍了
🛋️ 沙发板凳
赞楼主！targeted 法案就是歧视的前奏
对这种人来说，只有利益才能让她改变 - 当然，如果给她讲出她这样做会伤害她自己“利益”的道理，也有用。
楼主该做的已经做了，就记住今后绝不投此人的票（不管她是不是在压力之下改变了立场），以及有机会多让周围人知道这事就更好了。
这回信的意思法案是肯定要通过的，只不过改些词句，打击范围小些？
嗯，通过后等风头过了，再加回去
你想错了，买房囤房更多的是美国人，他们基数更大。“穷爸爸富爸爸”早就在教美国人通过房产投资赚钱了。 数据显示，在美国买地的最多的是加拿大人，中国人连前5都算不上。
说的是禁止购买的4国人民。打击的不就仅仅是中国人吗？你看哪个朝鲜人来买房？
写的太好了
怪不得全民炒房。 所以08年才trigger了那么大个经融危机。
不让人买房，法律依据是什么，美国法律是尿炕尿出来的啊
这逻辑能力，叹为观止，什么没权利更幸福，仿佛一天书都没读过
要给多个senator 打电话
如果真的是买房囤房的大户，就算没绿卡也难不倒他们，在美国找中介注册公司，再雇个老美做白手套就行了。这个法案最大的受害者就是拿着H1B单打独斗、攒点儿钱想给自己买个窝的小年轻们。这样的法案，毁的是American dream，是那个只要努力就能在美国有自己的家的信念。
自由女神像上的话说得多好， Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!
看看那样的字句，再看看现实，简直是绝大的讽刺。美帝小学里教Esperanza Rising，Esperanza一家子在墨西哥受尽迫害，逃到美帝之后终于获得新生，通过努力工作又有了自己的家和产业；结果华人Esperanza到了美帝被告知，对不起，你们是外人，就算有钱也不许置业，只许租房。
没办法的老实人，精准打击到走正常渠道的中国移民。还有一部分国内没背景的中产投资人。

哈哈，好，那面对任何歧视华人的法案，等在美的签证中国人都换成公民后（目前绿卡排期+公民申请> 10年哟），再和你们一起抗争呗
这是把美国法律想的有多蠢啊，还自以为聪明。还这么多点赞的，都是翻墙的吧
还有前几天，我看到一张有关美国族裔收入排名的表，也是惊掉了下巴，因为它的归类法就是细分，里面的亚裔被细分成近10个族裔：印度，菲律宾，台湾，华人（中国），日本，孟加拉国，等等，而其它的，是美国白人，黑人，拉丁裔，和，average American。记得多年前亚裔细分的借口是为了更好地在医疗上倾斜资源以帮助亚裔，有华人就预料到了今天这种细分的广泛用途。什么叫average American? 简直匪夷所思。

这段话让人不寒而栗啊！US Citizenship 和绿卡在一起强调就暗示入籍的华人也会被区别对待，还有 “will be considered” 是很弱的语气。
非公民，投票权都没有，怎么谈得上议员需要这些人的支持？
只要你住在德周就可以打电话给他们，他们只要你地址，不管你有没有无投票权，他们又不会查。很多时候不要你地址，只问你一下是否在德州。所以即使你不在德州也可以打。
这个楼主非常赞！
这个都能提到台面上来谈就是一个巨大的red flag, 希望前些天喊好的人清醒一下，红脖搞种族歧视灭绝是在骨子里的。
正解
应该给谁打电话？representative? senator? 能不能给个查询电话的link?
继续问她，那小美国公民的爹娘没绿卡就不准有自己的房子住了？
走学生工签绿卡这条路的，没个八九年基本拿不下来，入籍等时间更长。很多时候不是不愿入，而是资格不够啊

我心里阴暗一下。 最好加州把FOREIGN的都BAR了。 加州房价就会下来不少。
https://homeabroadinc.com/foreign-home-buyers-statistics/ 这里有好多统计。抄几个相关的：
Foreign-born individuals make up 14.25 percent of the population in the country’s 50 largest metros, on average. San Jose, Miami, and Los Angeles have the greatest foreign-born populations at 37.56 percent each. Due to the areas and sort of properties sought by foreign purchasers, the median existing-home sales price among international buyers was $351,800, 15% more than the $305,500 median price for all existing homes sold in the United States. 8% of foreign buyers purchase U.S. homes priced at $1M or more.

India ($3.1 billion), Mexico ($2.9 billion), and the United Kingdom ($2.7 billion) were the last three countries in the top five on this metric.
果然，你不说我都没留心到，这特么美国公民还需要exempt才能买房？还是will be considered？细思恐极啊，隔壁楼还在洗地说什么这法案是针对国内的贪官污吏暴发户的，人家骨子里就是看华人不顺眼，华人哪怕是美国公民，买房还得靠着白大人法外施恩。
你算算中国人口,GDP是加拿大，英国，墨西哥多少倍，中国人在美买房算多吗？印度比中国少点，可是印度跟中国经济实力根本不是一个水平，在加州买房的印度人主要也就是加州工作的印度人。
他们办公室的回复恶心人啊，这是啥意思。 要加个amendment 而且仅仅是考虑？
lawful permanent residence and US Citizenship being exempt from restrictions of the bill are among amendments to the legislation that will be considered.
公民已经不是中国人了
绿卡是永久居留，这些脑残representives不识字吗？
LOL
Taxation without representation 就是独立的理由
绿卡是美国税务公民，不能买房，就是Taxation without representation
这是要打内战吗？
这种一开始就要针对中国人的议员办公室，还能指望他们中途顿悟今是而昨非么？
大家能做的，就是用各种方法施压+把他们列入自己的黑名单（坚定今后对他们的态度）而已。
不过要抗议，而且华人能团结起来，联合其他少数族裔，反对一切按RACE划分的歧视。
