text: why is the foreign ownership of  land allowed in america? in most other countries it is not allowed. you got me, in my opinion no outside country should own any american company.. or any part of american soil trading with other countries is understandable,but not to the point where we sell our land or our dignity...by allowing foreign ownership we leave our self open to attacks by hostile countries...there are more that one way to invade a country besides using the military...
