百人會將成立資料庫追蹤美國各州的限制非公民購買土地法案

              (Boston Orange 編譯) 百人會 (Committee of 100) 今 (15) 日宣佈，推出一個新的數據庫，辨識、解說美國國會及州政府正在考慮，或者甚至已經通過的，限制非美國公民購買土地法令。

              由美國著名華人組成的這非牟利組織，百人會，一直以來譴責佛羅里德州、德州，以及其他州的在州法中限制非美國公民購買土地。

              該資料庫網頁包括一份視覺化展示的互動式美國地圖，上面的數據可以包括在州法中的條文，禁止擁有土地的實體類別 (例如中國公民、總部在中國的企業)，以及禁止擁有的企業種類 (例如，居民、商業、農業財產)來過濾。

              百人會的數據會在每季更新的基礎上，追蹤法案，並記錄關於這主題的資源。

              百人會代理會長暨執行主任Cindy Tsai表示，”移民的貢獻對美國經濟及其競爭力，佔有極重要角色。不必要急過隊的限制，只會增加想要謀生存，並對美國社會有所貢獻的移民們所面對的限制。 這些法案合法化了關於移民的有害、仇外敘述，還創造了助長反亞裔暴力的條件。

Committee of 100 Denounces Recent Alien Land Laws, Launches Database to Track Harmful Legislation

New York, NY (December 15, 2023) — Committee of 100, a non-profit organization of prominent Chinese Americans, has been outspoken in denouncing the legislation in Florida, Texas and additional states that would limit the ability of non-U.S. citizens to purchase land in their state.

 
To track the recent surge of legislation prohibiting property ownership by Chinese citizens (including permanent residents) across the U.S., Committee of 100 is today launching a new database that identifies and explains such legislation considered, and in some cases passed, by Congress and state governments.
 
The webpage features an interactive map of the United States that visually demonstrates the data. The data can be filtered by the provisions included in the legislation, including the types of entities prohibited from owning property (e.g. Chinese citizens, businesses headquartered in China) and the types of properties prohibited from ownership  (e.g. residential, commercial, agricultural property).
 
Committee of 100’s database, tracking the legislation and documenting resources on the subject, will be updated on a quarterly basis.     
 
“Contributions by immigrants play a vital role in the U.S. economy and its competitiveness. Unnecessary and overzealous restrictions only add to the challenges faced by immigrants looking to live in and contribute to American society,” said Cindy Tsai, Committee of 100 Interim President and Executive Director. “These bills legitimize harmful and xenophobic narratives about immigrants, creating conditions that fuel anti-Asian violence.”
