Sen. Lindsey Graham is using the coronavirus recovery bills to dramatically expand the award of EB-5 green cards to wealthy Chinese if they lend money to U.S. real estate investors and other companies, according to several activists and Politico magazine.

“How can people pushing this not see how politically explosive this is?” said Mark Krikorian, director of the Center for Immigration Studies. “An EB-5 increase would almost exclusively benefit Chinese: It is hard to imagine what they are thinking.”

The plan by Graham, (R-S.C.) was provided to Politico, which said it would “boost the number of [EB-5] visas offered to wealthy immigrants who invest money in the United States as it tries to boost a faltering economy amid the escalating coronavirus outbreak, according to four people familiar with the situation.” The Politico report added:

The proposal, which could be included in one of the Senate’s coronavirus rescue bills, would significantly boost the number of visas offered annually from 10,000 to 75,000 while halving the investment required to earn legal residence from $900,000 to $450,000, they say.

Half the recipients of the EB-5 visa program — investors and their families — come from China, according to a report by the Brookings Institution think tank. Many others come from South Korea and Taiwan.

Breitbart News asked Graham’s office for comment. The office responded by saying, “Check with the Majority Leader’s office. He is handling the package and what will/will not be included.”

He learned well from his mentor.

EB-5 needs to be killed off completely.

We are filled up, no need for any immigrants for at least 50 years.

We need time to straighten out the mess that this uncontrolled immigration has caused since the 1960s.

I support a complete moratorium on ALL immigration for at least 50 years.

This country was far better off in all ways when we had 1/2 the current population.

No refugees either, for any reason.

Something that every keeps forgetting: Life is not fair.

Note when I was in middle school, my church helped a family from Taiwan to immigrate to SoCal. The youngest of three, was a girl in my class. One of the guys went on to become a VP with McDonnell Douglas, and to serve on the Apple board of directors. Gareth Chang.

People fram Taiwan are usually strongly anti-Communist-Red-China (PRC)

If Sen. Grsham is helping America by getting people like my experience, he does not deserve opposition.
