I can not support the taking of public land that is not directly under the control of the citizens of this country to directly benefit the same citizens of the US. We need what is best for the country as a whole, especially when it comes to the ownership of the assets of this country. I have seen in South Africa how Chinese companies are mining there using their own people to do the work with no benefit to the citizens of that country. We own our assets and we need to be able to control the use of them for the benefit of the citizens of our own country.
