我們的挑戰將永無止境

怒氣沖天的華亞裔人士在週六之大遊行， 證明了華人在美國社會之覺醒和政治上極待爭取之權利。

如果今天让德州制定法律，不讓中國公民賭購買土地 ，這將是有請多極大之影響 ，首先是違反了美國立國及以移民建國之精神， 對於華人之宗祖國之歧視。

超過一百多年從修建鐵路到數以百萬計之華人精英參與了美國之建設，無論在科技、 金融 、醫療 、政府部門都有極大之貢獻 ，難道這就要一筆勾消，把華裔視為二等公民嗎？

我們要非常遺憾的指出， 如果這項禁令成真， 這必然會嚴重影響華人到德州之投資意願， 將造成地產經紀之失業和經濟之發展。

我們要呼籲德州參議院要悬崖勒马 ，立即取消此法案， 取除華裔公民之疑慮和不滿。

Our Challenges Never End Now

Hundreds of angered Chinese Americans marched in Houston's Chinatown on Saturday and exercised and proved the right of Chinese people to awaken American society to a growing political struggle in their midst.

In the Texas Senate there is currently a bill under consideration that will try to prevent Chinese citizens from buying land in Texas. Passage of this bill will have a great and devastating impact on the Chinese community.

First of all, this bill violates the spirit of the founding fathers of the United States when, in fact, the nation has been built by immigrants.

More than one hundred years ago, Chinese labor came to this country to build the railroad. Later over the years, millions of Chinese elites have participated in the building of this great nation, whether it has been in the sciences, finance, technology or medical fields and they have made great contributions to the United States. So why are we treating them now like second class citizens?

We need to point out this law will do serious damage to our economy which will in turn lead to much unemployment and lost jobs and will cause much financial harm to the real estate industry.

We would like to call on the Texas Senate to decisively reconsider any further action and/or discussion on this bill, and furthermore, to withdraw it immediately from consideration for any further legislative action to rightfully respond to, and appease the united anger and dissatisfaction of the Chinese community.
