While I am no fan of Trump, I don't think there I understand the attack angle here. This program is a government sponsored program to get foreign money into US based capital development programs. They don't get ownership or equity of the resultant buildings, and the only thing they do get is a visa into the country. I understand there are security risks, but I don't think anyone who is raising funds via this method should even concern themselves with that. This is a government sponsored and run program, all the developer is doing is trying to raise funds to build their project at the best rate possible. If there is a security concern then the people who need to be concerned with it are the government officials who are processing and clearing the applicants.
Essentially I read this as Trump's subsidiary used a government program to raise funds, and it turns out the government can't even be trusted to do a proper security screen.
- DanBC 11y agoDonald Trump has anti-immigration stance. A couple of things on his website are not compatible with giving visas to people for money. https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform https://www.donaldjtrump.com/positions/immigration-reform > Real immigration reform puts the needs of working people first – not wealthy globetrotting donors. > Requirement to hire American workers first. Too many visas, like the H-1B, have no such requirement. In the year 2015, with 92 million Americans outside the workforce and incomes collapsing, we need companies to hire from the domestic pool of unemployed. Petitions for workers should be mailed to the unemployment office, not USCIS.
- pigpaws 11y agono - Donald Trump is anti-ILLEGAL-immigration. The word a lot of people 'conveniently' leave out to serve their own political bias. I agree with the other two items. ESPECIALLY the H-1B debacle that is currently going on...
- ap3 11y agoI don't see the problem here. No one lost their jobs because of this. If anything something that worries Trump, money flowing out of the US to China, came back and was invested in the US to generate jobs.
