100 GOP Reps Back Fast-Track Citizenship for Chinese Investors
2019-07-10
[BREITBART] The House will vote as early as Tuesday on a bill that would give wealthy Chinese lenders a fast-track to American green cards and citizenship.
All part of Trump's plot to make America white again.
The important question is whether the Senate will agree. If not, this is all posturing.
Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren’s bill ‐ The Fairness for High Skilled Immigrants colonists Act of 2019 ‐ is co-sponsored by more than 100 GOP politicians, and it helps Chinese lenders by eliminating the pro-diversity rules in the EB-5 "Golden Visa" program.

The EB-5 program awards almost 10,000 green cards each year to foreigners who lend money to U.S. investors. Once the lenders get green cards a few years later, they can get their money back, apply for citizenship, and then import their relatives via the chain-migration rules.

The Lofgren bill also puts at least 300,000 Indian contract-workers on a fast track to citizenship via the EB1, EB-2, and EB-3 green card lines, and it also helps companies import even more Indian contract-workers to take white-collar jobs from young American graduates, via the H-1B and "Optional Practical Training" programs.

Lofgren is a former immigration lawyer whose district includes much of Silicon Valley. She is trying to get the HR.1044 "country caps" bill passed without hearing or committee votes by sending it through a fast-track process. But that process requires 290 voters for a win, ensuring that the GOP leaders can stop her bill by reducing GOP support below 50 votes.
