I know someone from Africa who had to renew their work visa in order to get their home loan. They got their loan and house 5 years ago. As for owning the land, I like how Hawaii does it. You have to have a valid US birth certificate in order to own land. Their certificate of live birth is not good enough, which is what Obama first showed as proof of citizenship. No foreign entities, people or Corporations should own any of our land! They own Smithfield Farms, and other meat companies! They have a huge impact on our food supply! This is the country that put Melamine in dog and cat food years ago, and was killing our pets. They were going to put it in baby food when they got caught!!
