Ron DeSantis-backed law barring Chinese from owning land in Florida galvanizes Asian Americans The law has caused some Asian American voters to say they're changing their vote from Republican to Democrat ahead of the state's primary. Georgia, Texas 也有这些Ban吧! 希望那里的华人去投票，不要silent。 Wen Raiti, a Chinese American community leader in Jacksonville, Florida, has been a Republican for more than a decade. As a small business owner, she said, the party’s fiscal conservatism and small government ethos resonated with her. But last May, when Gov. Ron DeSantis signed legislation banning Chinese citizens from buying property in Florida, Raiti changed her party affiliation and began campaigning for local and national Democratic candidates. Leading up to Florida’s Aug. 20 primary election, anger toward Senate Bill 264 has turbocharged voter mobilization efforts in the Chinese American community in the state, organizers and elected officials said, pushing conservatives to defect from the GOP while inspiring first-time voters to register and volunteer for Democrats. “This bill alone helped activate a lot of people in the Chinese American community who historically are not engaged with the government, especially the state government,” said state Rep. Anna Eskamani (D-Orlando), who has been an outspoken critic of SB 264. Eskamani said hundreds of Chinese Americans have traveled to Tallahassee to protest, testify at committee hearings and spearhead fundraising drives. In the dozen years that she’s been in government, she said, “I’ve never seen this kind of presence.” For Raiti, the law was the “last straw” after all the hostile rhetoric and scapegoating that Republicans have directed at Asian Americans during the Covid-19 pandemic. “It’s in our Constitution to treat everyone with equality and justice so that everyone can live here without fear,” she said. “The Republican Party has abandoned these principles.” Chinese nationals who buy property could face exorbitant fines and up to five years in prison, and sellers who knowingly violate the restrictions could face up to one year in prison. SB 264 also restricted, but did not ban, land purchases by some citizens of Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Russia, Syria and Venezuela. In April, a federal appeals court heard a challenge to the law after four Chinese immigrants in Florida, backed by the American Civil Liberties Union and other civil rights groups, sued the state last summer. Advocates say they’re hoping for an injunction ruling. The Justice Department supported the Chinese plaintiffs in a filing last June, but a judge ruled against it. “After the law passed, we realized that Asian Americans really have no voice,” said Echo King, president of the Florida Asian American Justice Alliance, a nonprofit organization that was established last year to fight anti-Asian discrimination. “We’re contributing to this country, so why are we being targeted?” Since Asian American political representation in Florida is scarce, King said the FAAJA targeted legislators willing to represent the community. The organization sent out questionnaires to determine which candidates supported issues important to Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders, she said, and conducted extensive voter registration education in the community. “We’re showing people why it’s so important to vote,” she said. “We are endorsing candidates. We’re seeing lots of people being involved in the community.” SB 264 has had a noticeable impact on the Chinese American community, King said. Many people have put their house on the market, she said, while others are waiting to see if the law gets overturned before deciding whether to leave the state. An immigration attorney, King said the legislation motivated her to become more involved in the electoral process by running as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. King said at least 25 Chinese American voters changed their affiliations from “no party preference” to Democratic to vote for her. Raiti said Chinese Americans in Florida do not typically engage with the electoral process beyond issues affecting education and family. “The Chinese community is typically more quiet when it comes to politics,” Raiti said. “This bill changed that dynamic.” SB 264, crafted to curb “the malign influence of the Chinese Communist Party in the state,” immediately sparked widespread confusion and outrage for discriminatory treatment against Chinese people. Legal experts compared the measure to century-old alien land laws that barred Asian Americans from owning land; Florida was one of the last states to repeal its law, in 2018. Chinese American conservatives have also been subjected to rampant anti-communism, or Red Scare tactics. In June, Bowen Kou, a Republican candidate in a state Senate race, sued Senate Republicans over attack ads that claimed he accepted contributions from Chinese donors linked to the Communist Party. While Asians comprise just 3% of Florida’s population, the Asian population in the state has grown by 44% since 2010. Asian American support for the Republican Party in Florida, Eskamani said, is rooted in the perception that the GOP supports small businesses. Yet “slowly but surely,” she said, registered Republicans in the Asian American community are realizing that the party doesn’t necessarily have their best interests in mind.

We are following through on our commitment to crack down on Communist China.” 至少这里面说的是农业用地和军事基地附近的地。

不过这篇文章有个小疑问- Raiti - 这是中文的名字么？中文里没有Rai这个字吧？如果是英文名字，一般不会写成"Wen Raiti"吧？
同样都是共产国家来的 古巴人就是香饽饽 中国人就是重点防范对象
这是个女的。嫁人改姓。
There is a reason for that. You should learn more history.
弗罗里达不一定。 华人的票数还是管用的。又不是没蓝过。
问题是能投票的都不受限制，受限制的都没投票权。这些急眼的人在入美籍的时候乱发誓了？
为什么禁止中国公民买房买地啊？就算禁止了为什么会影响给谁投票？中国公民在哪儿能给美国总统投票啊？
温来弟？ 来弟是常见福州名
美国人分不出你是美国公民还是中国公民，或是中華民國公民， 这种政策距离反华就是两步
来弟写成拼音，是laidi啊。。。这是台湾或者香港拼法？
如果是起的英文名 - 这个当然没问题 - 但很少有人岂英文名之后会用这种顺序写吧。。。比如这篇文章的作者是Claire Wang - 这样的名字，很少有人会写成: Wang Claire吧？
没准哪天就被噶了上新闻了，或者已经上新闻了。
更可能埋地里长虫都没有新闻
不知道福州话怎么发音？
地方方言怎么发音，都不影响如果是用大陆拼音的话，是按Laidi来拼的。这个显然没有人会按自个儿的方言来拼。自然如果名字就是在美国起的（比如她就是出生在美国的ABC），那当然可能有自己的写法。但我很少见到ABC的名字在这类报道中，会用这种“姓+名”的中式顺序来写的。
不知道在台湾或者香港，这俩字会拼写成什么样子？
香港人也有可能， 纽约很多90年代来的英文名是用广东话拼音， 新加坡/马来西亚华人是潮汕人拼音
是说这个Bill 么？

你也知道美国人读新闻大多是只读标题。
而且你走在街上，脑门上也没贴着“合法移民”四个字
没有人说这个法案里的东西，是表面上就直接针对到这里的华人（公民）的。
但在DeSantis明显的表现出对中国的（虽然他也有的地方口称是针对土共）的敌意，而这种敌意不可避免的会鼓励民间对华人的敌意的情况下，还去给他找理由，说“至少。。。”，这是很难理解的。
当然，如果自己和他一样，对中国敌意足够大，所以不在乎其他小节，就是觉得他做的对，那么为他这个行为站台，自然就说的通了。
人家可能真打算脑门上纹一个，再纹个美国国旗，和MAGA，那就有了护身符了
另外美国人哪知道中国法律不允许双重国籍， 他们认为只要是中国人，合法/非法， 都是中国公民
