The bill, which is headed to Gov. Bill Lee for signature, was amended to include the sanctioned language. The original version of the bill stated that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/russell-brand-democrats-big-tech-media-conspired-to-influence-2020-election\/\" title=\"Russell Brand: Democrats, Big Tech, Media \u2018Conspired\u2019 To Influence 2020 Election\">foreign businesses<\/a>, governments, nonresident aliens, and agents of such groups could not purchase land in Tennessee if their own country prohibited U.S. citizens from purchasing real property in that country.<\/p>\n<h3>Concerns for Nashville&#8217;s Kurdish Community<\/h3>\n<p>Democrats in the legislature are concerned about the possible unintended consequences of the law on the large Kurdish community in the Nashville area, which is home to the largest Kurdish community in North America. State Rep. John Ray Clemmons, a Nashville Democrat, questioned whether the bill would prevent Kurdish Americans in Nashville from purchasing land in the future if the Kurdish population were ever sanctioned.<\/p>\n<h3>Sanctioned Countries<\/h3>\n<p>The amended law will apply to sanctioned countries on the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/how-amazon-engages-in-sanctioned-trade-with-iran\/\" title=\"How Amazon Engages in Sanctioned Trade With Iran\">sanctions programs<\/a> and country information list. The list includes comprehensive or selective sanctions, with entire countries on the list or certain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nebraska-department-of-educations-new-health-standards-would-teach-kindergarteners-about-gender-identity\/\" title=\"Nebraska Department of Education\u2019s New Health Standards Would Teach Kindergarteners About Gender Identity\">entities related<\/a> to a country.

Jason Zachary said the bill was about protecting farmland in Tennessee from adversaries of the United States from taking hold of Tennessee land. State Rep. Jay Reedy, the Republican sponsor of the bill, said he was not entirely sure whether the bill would prevent Kurdish Americans in Nashville from owning property in the future. Other Democrats spoke before the vote, saying the bill could have unintended consequences and even calling the bill immoral.<\/p>\n<h3>Democratic Opposition<\/h3>\n<p>State Rep. Bo Mitchell, a Nashville Democrat, said the unintended consequences of the bill could hurt people that have saved American lives, such as Afghani translators and the Kurds. State Rep. Justin Jones, another Nashville Democrat, called the bill &#8220;shameful&#8221; and said it would impact people already in Tennessee trying to make a living. The bill passed 72\u201318, with six Democrats crossing party lines to vote yes on the bill.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editor&#8217;s Note:<\/strong> The use of this law to prevent Kurdish Americans from owning property in the future is uncertain, but the lack of clear answers from the bill&#8217;s sponsors has caused concern among Democrats in the state legislature.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats concerned of unintended consequences to Nashville&#8217;s large Kurdish community A law that will prohibit sanctioned foreign entities and nonresident aliens from property ownership in Tennessee is headed to Gov.
