I am afraid your math doesn't add up. Influx of foreign capital can never be bad because it fuels the local economy. It brings new jobs in construction and other related services, transtively bringing more money to government because every human activity is taxed.

By banning foreign investors you're basically saying: "nah, we don't need more money, we have enough".
