Looking for some insight on the legal challenges and legitimacy regarding the new crop of laws, like Florida SB264, that typically fall along the lines of limiting the purchase of critical infrastructure, agricultural land, or land in general within a certain distance of same by entities and foreign nationals of China, Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, and Iran.
The parts regarding foreign entities themselves seem fairly straight forward, but at first glance the provisions that restrict individual persons seem to be clearly in violation of our legal protections under the 1964 civil rights act that prohibit discrimination based on national origin.
Thoughts?
Note: this is not a political thread. This thread is to discuss the legal basis for these laws, their efficacy, and their legitimacy (or lack thereof).
