Asian Americans rally outside Texas Capitol as lawmakers move closer to passing land-ban

AUSTIN (Nexstar) -- As the Texas legislature moves one step closer to making it illegal to own land for citizens from China, Iran, Russia and North Korea who are residing illegally in the country, a group of Asian Americans gathered outside the south steps of the Capitol to express their opposition to the bill.

Xiaoyu Wu was one of those people. He is originally from a town north of Shanghai, China, but moved to the the United States 13 years ago to pursue his PhD at the University of Texas at Austin.
