“The fact that the EB-5 program has grown exponentially in the last few years — even with more stringent risk requirements than similar programs in other countries — says a lot about the global desire to be part of the American dream…Congressional Districts across the country are seeing the benefit of EB-5 investments in their communities and should pass these reforms to permanently authorize the EB-5 program. With job growth continuing to fluctuate and the competition for investment dollars increasing, we need EB-5 on the list of strategies to help keep our economy growing.”
