Texas state Rep. Gene Wu, along with more than a dozen fellow Democratic lawmakers, has decried state legislation proposed by a GOP lawmaker that would ban the sale of land to Chinese citizens, governments, and other entities.

“I am here in defense of the ‘American dream’,” Wu told reporters during a press conference on Wednesday at the Texas Capitol. “This is what we are all here to protect.”
