Khizr Khan has deleted his immigration law firm’s website which shows he deals with a legal program that allows anyone with $500,000 to buy US citizenship.
Mr. Khan, the father of a US Army soldier who died in service of his country, made news when he and his wife appeared on stage at the DNC convention to vilify Donald Trump. As it turns out, he has reason to not want a temporary Muslim ban. His life’s work as an immigration attorney is to bring in Muslims.
He claimed Trump’s ban was unconstitutional but if he read the Constitution, he would know that is not true. The Constitution does NOT apply to foreign nationals. Khan worked for Hogan Lovells LLP [formerly Hogan & Hartson] for ten years which directly ties him to the Saudi government and the Clinton machine. The company is a big donor to Clinton’s Foundation.
It’s odd that he has deleted his entire website. The Wayback Machine snapshot shows that he aids: E2 Treaty Investors, EB5 Investments & Related Immigration Services.
In explaining the downside of EB-5 and E2, we are not saying Mr. Khan brought disreputable people over and we are not saying he didn’t. We simply have no idea but the EB-5 is fraught with corruption and E2 is sketchy at best.
EB5 IS FRAUGHT WITH FRAUD
The EB5 program, which we have written about as a program that sells US citizenship to the wealthier foreigner, allows foreigners with money to buy a green card and eventually citizenship. It’s a visa program that sells citizenship. It used to be for the very wealthy investor but only requires an investment of $500,000 which isn’t much by today’s standards. You could buy a house and call it an investment.
An Orlando soccer team is promising visas to any foreigner who wants to invest $500,000. The twenty-five year old visa program is being used to sell permanent residency and citizenship. Some of the people are communists from nations like China.
All “investors” really have to do is buy a house. Senators Schumer and Lee wanted to encourage investment in our ailing housing market with this program under a bill several years ago.
The congressmen who support an extension of EB-5 have ties to the industry that benefits the most from it – the real estate industry. They all received major donations from the industry.
EB-5 investors obtain permanent residency through the program and have the option to apply for U.S. citizenship 90 days prior to the five year anniversary of receipt of their conditional resident status.
The visa offer is legal, and it uses a 25-year-old federal program, known as EB-5, that is under renewed scrutiny in Congress but nothing ever gets done there as we know. The sum of $500,000 was a lot more significant in 1990 and the program needs overhauling, starting with an increase in the amount of investment and stricter rules on jobs created. It was meant to create jobs but is being transformed.
An investor in Massachusetts is using the EB-5 visa program to help finance enterprises from hotels to sports arenas to condominiums.
No one really cares much that this could pose a potential national security nightmare.
THE E2 TREATY PROGRAM IS ALSO SKETCHY
The E-2 Investor Visa allows an individual to enter and work inside of the United States based on an investment he or she will be controlling, while inside the United States. This visa must generally be renewed every two years, but there is no limit to how many times one can renew.
They buy startups which is why you see a lot of Pakistanis and other foreigners running certain businesses like 7-11s, mom and pop gas stations, some restaurants.
There have been some food stamp frauds associated with some of these convenience stores – swapping stamps for cash — which is a booming multimillion dollar fraud perpetrated on the US.
All these add-ons to our immigration law become corrupted to some degree. A simple immigration law should be enough but Barack Obama feels none is necessary and part of the mass delusion he has created includes the mainstreaming of open borders.
