The EB-5 immigration program was the subject of a months-long ABC News investigation. The program allows foreigners who are willing to invest $500,000 in an American business to jump to the front of the immigration line and obtain legal status to live in the U.S. for two years. If the investment is shown to create at least 10 jobs, the investor can receive a “Green Card” – permanent residency. But according to five DHS whistleblowers and internal documents reviewed by ABC News, the program meant to grow American jobs also has purported security weaknesses that have allowed a host of allegedly shady characters to enter the country and prompted fears it could be used by terrorists. What else can you get for $500,000?
