July 17 – EB5 Political Calculations

July 18, 2019

<p>Comment: EB5 Political Calculations<br>
<div>
An Op-Ed last weekend in the New York Observer
<a
href=”https://observer.com/2019/07/new-york-real-estate-developers-eb-5-visa-plea/”
target=”_blank”
>
“Real Estate Developers’ Plea to Trump: Don’t Roll Out New EB-5
Regulation” by Brian Darling
</a>
argues that it is in the political interest of the Trump administration to
squash the upcoming EB5 regulation. Please find an analysis below.

<p>
This regulation kills jobs in New York, LA, Miami and
other major urban centers
</p>
</td>
<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
Those in the administration pushing the regulation know
that the regulation changes the location of the jobs
from affluent urban areas to rural areas. President
Trump cannot hope to win New York or California—he is
trying to appeal to Wisconsin and Iowa by moving jobs
there.
</p>
</td>

<tr>
<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
The administration should be worried about angry voters
who are upset about the President not keeping his
promise to create American jobs
</p>
</td>
<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
The angry voters that affect the President’s reelection
effort are rural voters in Wisconsin and Iowa who are
suffering due to the trade wars. The administration
sees using this EB5 regulation to move jobs to rural
states as a way of keeping Mr. Trump’s promise to
create American jobs–for rural voters who will make or
break his re-election efforts.

<p>
Additional investment of $1 Billion is a value to New
York, Los Angeles and Miami
</p>
</td>
<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
$1 Billion of investment has a massive impact on the
economies of rural areas that Trump needs to win for
his re-election.
</p>

<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
This is an Obama era regulation; ergo, it must be
stopped
</p>
</td>
<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
The administration stopped all Obama era regulations
except this one. This regulation was pushed forward
deliberately because it will help re-elect President
Trump.

EB-5 is a merit based immigration system

</td>
<td width=”312″ valign=”top”>
<p>
EB-5 continues to remain a merit based immigration
system under the regulation
</p>
</td>

</div>
<div>
<br/>
</div>
<div>
The administration is already in a full 2020 re-election mode and seems to
be evaluating issues such as the decisions on the new EB5 regulation based
on the above considerations.

<p>Focus: Email Campaign to EB5 List<br>
<p>
<strong>The Audience</strong>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
We have conducted 70+ H1B to EB5 events in the US in 2018 &amp; 2019
and have a contact list in the low-five-figures of H1B visa holders
interested in EB5
</li>
<li>
We will send your email campaign to a randomly selected group of 5,000
email addresses
</li>
<li>
98% of the people are in the contiguous 48 states in the US, 90% are
Indian (with the rest Pakistani, Bangladeshi, etc.)
</li>
<li>
We do not offer list of attendees–only the exhibitors at the event
receive attendee lists, the above list is of no-shows only
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong> </strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>The </strong>
<strong>Email</strong>
<strong> Campaign</strong>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Your email will be sent out to 5,000 H1Bs interested in EB5.
</li>
<li>
The email will use your creative including images; and will contain
your contact information, including your phone number, your email
address, and link(s) to your website. We will send you a test email for
approval before sending the broadcast out.
</li>
<li>
The “from” email address will be your email address so you will receive
the replies directly from the recipients.
</li>
<li>
One week after the email, we will send you basic statistics such as
open rates, click rates etc.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
<strong> </strong>
</p>
<p>
<strong>Rent vs. Buy</strong>
</p>
<ul>
<li>
An email list is “burnt” by excessive use—and it is in our interest,
and also in our clients’, interest that the list does not get burnt.
</li>
<li>
Therefore, we are not selling our email list itself as then anyone can
sell it to multiple parties. The recipients will receive numerous
emails thus destroying the value of the list for everyone who uses it.
Rather, we are renting the list to about half a dozen clients and
timing the emails sent out such that it does not “burn” the list and
thus ensuring that our clients get the best results from the email
list.
</li>
</ul>
