Invest in the USA (IIUSA), the not-for-profit industry trade association representing the EB-5 Regional Center Program, issued the following statement after President Trump announced an Executive Order on the Gold Card:
“IIUSA applauds President Trump and Secretary Lutnick for their continued focus on expanding upon our economically beneficial immigration pathways. We look forward to learning more about the Trump Gold Card Executive Order when it is made public. As the leading trade association representing the EB-5 Regional Center Program, we know firsthand the economic power of investment-based immigration. Together, the EB-5 program’s proven ability to revitalize communities in need through capital infusion and job creation and the Gold Card’s focus on deficit reduction have the potential to supercharge the U.S. economy. From 2016 to 2019 alone, the EB-5 Visa program created 1.7 million American jobs, attracted $75 billion in private investment, paid $122 billion in wages, contributed $184 billion to GDP, and generated $14.5 billion in tax revenue – all at no cost to taxpayers.
“IIUSA looks forward to working with the Trump administration to ensure the critical EB-5 Program continues to positively impact communities across the country, creating more jobs and strengthening local economies.”
