EB-5 is just a way to buy a green card. The US government should cut out all of these middlemen with dubious “investment opportunities” and just have the money go straight to the federal budget.

- gruez 3y agoFrom the article: >Doug Bereuter, then a Republican congressman, framed the [EB-5] law as a violation of American values, noting that he was saddened to learn that American citizenship was “for sale to the highest bidder.” And this is with a veneer of legitimacy by framing it as an "investment". Outright selling is sure to attract more ire.
