  1. My sake? You're the one squawking. Why don't you put together an investment package and sell it to foreign wealthy investors and see the amount of work and regulation involved. I can only see the benefit of attracting investor immigrants to America rather than needy immigrants. We already have 47+ million of them.

  2. Speak for yourself. Yes we trust you. You're on here also and you are the winner.

    Doesn't really matter if it will create jobs. Doesn't matter if the intentions were good. Looks bad, was stupid to do and adds fuel to the fire that the Trump administration is looking out for the rich and lining their own pockets, regardless of whether it is true.

    We're never going to move forward from hyper-partisan shit if no one wants to start acting better. All we're going to drown in is the whole "well you do it too!" crap.

  4. I am reading the opening article and I can't really understand what the point is. The writer wants to suggest that somehow there is something unethical or sleazy about this but doesn't really point to anything. It would be one thing if they were implying they could fast track the visas because of Trump, but they clearly were not. Their investors will get treated just like every other foreign investor. You may not like the policy, but it hasn't changed since Trump came into office.

    In fact, there was a mini scandal involving it during the Obama administration, but it was hushed up.http://www.politico.com/story/2015/...auliffe-and-brother-of-hillary-clinton-116370 A Clinton bagman/governor of Virgina and Hillary's brother were apparently running a shady invest for visas scam. Of course the media were supremely uninterested.

  5. The libtards only want poor illegal immigrants. They want more like themselves to make them feel superior. But they don't realize the rich investor immigrants provide a larger tax payer pool to pay for their freebees and government subsidies.

  6. They were happy to take their money when Obama was calling the shots and rich dems were making a bundle on visa scams. Now suddenly it is a scandal.
