America for Sale


I just came across this article today on NBCNews.com. It is about an immigration program called the EB-5 visa program. It allows foreigners to earn a green card granting them permanent residency and a citizenship. In addition to the usual bureaucracy, this path to citizenship, costs at least a $500,000 investment in an American business and the creation of at least 10 jobs.

Everybody knows that money talks but is buying your way to the head of the citizenship line a fair process? Is buying your way into America a process that all its citizens should know about? I’m curious to know how this program is marketed, if at all, to other countries. What do you think?
