近期媒体报道，2022年11月22日，德州参议员Lois W. Kolkhorst在德州议会引入SB147法案，拟将禁止中俄朝伊公民、法人或政府在德州购买房地产。该法案引发了全美和全德州的华人华侨的关注。新闻链接：

德州州长Abbott更发推特宣称，如果SB147法案通过，他会立即签署。
郭律师号召全美华人华侨，团结起来，行动起来，抵制这种开历史倒车的歧视性非法违宪法案！
毋庸置疑，SB147法案如果通过签署生效，会是违法违宪的恶法。SB147法案显然违反以下联邦法：
美国宪法第十四修正案的平等保护条款
《公平住房法》（Fair Housing Act）
废除《外国人土地法》（Alien Land Laws）的各个联邦最高法院和州法院判例，如Oyama v. State of California, 332 U.S. 633 (1948)等。
更不要说SB147法案是非常种族歧视的。
[Recipient Address] [Date] RE: Texas #StopAsianHate Condemns TX 88(R) SB147 Dear [Recipient ], On November 14, 2022, state Senator Lois W. Kolkhorst introduced Senate Bill 147 aiming to ban citizens, governments and entities of countries including China from purchasing real property in Texas.[1] This bill, while early in the state legislative process, has invoked outrage in both national and local Asian communities. Discrimination in housing and real estate transactions against people of Asian heritage is not news in U.S. history. The infamous Alien Land Laws originated from California in 1879 throughout the Union – including Texas in 1891, 1892, and 1921 - that traced their roots from the anti-Asian racism in U.S. history manifested in discriminate bills and incidents: the Page Act of 1875, Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, the Immigration Act of 1917 and Asiatic Barred Zone, the Immigration Act of 1924 and the national origin quota, the Internment of Japanese Americans, the 1992 Los Angeles riots, and countless of lynching against Asian Community including the murder of Vincent Chin, etc. Against the backdrop of past years’ anti-Asian rhetoric and a sharp increase in hate crimes and incidences during the COVID-19 pandemic, Senate Bill 147 raises alarms in both Asian American communities and the nation as a whole on visible and invisible discrimination against people of Asian heritage. Similar to the Alien Land Laws in the 19th and 20th centuries, Senate Bill 147, if in effect, is discriminatory, unlawful, and unconstitutional. It is against the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, U.S. Const. amend. XIV. §1, it is against the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. 3601, et seq., it is against various Federal and State case laws overruling the Alien Land Laws including but not limited toOyama v. State of California, 332 U.S. 633 (1948). Senate Bill 147, if in effect, is against the law of the land. We call on the Texas Legislature not to pass Senate Bill 147 and to censure state Senator Kolkhorst. We also call on Governor Abbott to veto the bill should it pass the state legislature. Yours sincerely, /Signature/ [1]Website: https://www.thecentersquare.com/texas/new-bill-would-ban-certain-foreign-entities-from-purchasing-land-in-texas/article_d1604e42-94eb-11ed-a16d-57b52d89086c.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter&utm_campaign=user-share; date of visit: Jan. 16, 2023.
