In the 1980’s hysteria over Japanese investment and automobile imports was at an all-time high. Vitriol from laid off union auto workers was directed at the imported automobiles and the financial papers painted a picture of a Japanese buyout of America.
There was land speculation, commercial building acquisitions, farms purchased and even on Saturday morning cartoons… there were shows like Speed Racer and host of hyper-flashy “japanimation” programs.
The United States was bracing for a hostile takeover… and then nothing much happened. Japan lurched into their “lost decade” in the 1990’s and a monster depression wiped out much of their net worth.
America was saved, until now.
Now, the Saudi Arabians savvy land speculators have mastered a scheme so lucrative they can barely disguise their glee.
Union workers are worried, farmers feel cheated and the press is declaring that Saudi Arabia is buying up the American south-west

We must stop this! Soon our country will be foreign owned.
Other countries don’t allow foreign nationals to own property in their country, why do we? Let’s tax their water for irrigation or exports of agricultural products.
At one time, I believe, foreigners could not own US property……c.
Why do we allow any foreign entity or individual to own American soil!!!!
Congress! Pay ATTENTION! Remove our land. Do not sell it to foreigners!!! Geez! How stupid are we as a country???
