What an ugly little thing to put in a State Constitution: Article 1, Section 2 -- a portion of the Florida Constitution spelling out basic, inalienable rights -- the phrase says "except that the ownership, inheritance, disposition and possession of real property by aliens ineligible for citizenship may be regulated or prohibited by law."

The history definitely backs Steve's comments that it was directed towards Asians. The sad thing is there are people opposed to removing it today because "it might stop a terrorist from owning land." Yeah, right.

Thanks, Steve!
