Today, Congressman Mark Alford (MO-04) reintroduced the American Land and Property Protection Act. This commonsense legislation will prevent foreign adversaries from purchasing real estate of any kind in the United States.

The American Land and Property Protection Act would specifically prohibit nonresident aliens, foreign businesses, an agent, trustee, or fiduciaries associated with China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea, as well as designated Foreign Terrorist Organizations, from purchasing land in America.

“Our foreign adversaries have no business owning American land,” said Congressman Alford. “Unfortunately, we continue to see concerning reports of people associated with China and Russia purchasing U.S. real estate. We need real action to end these transactions once and for all. The American Land and Property is a commonsense step toward protecting the homeland.”
