It is time for Congress to not only overhaul our dysfunctional
immigration system, but it is also time for the country to recognize
the valuable contributions of immigrant investors. Changes to the
EB-5 Regional Center Program would further assist our country
in the economic recovery that is long overdue. Entrepreneurial
investors making investments that create jobs and infuse capital
into new businesses is a win-win for all involved.
