reports that as a part of the massive 1 trillion dollar Coronavirus
package, the Trump administration is proposing to increase the EB5 quota
from 10,000 to 75,000 and reducing the investment amount from $900k to
$450k. This will clearly inject a significant amount of much needed capital
into an economy that seems to be diving to Great-Depression-level depths.
We applaud the administration for this elegant idea of using immigration
strategically for national benefit.

Anti-immigrationists oppose this commonsensical idea of EB5 expansion
by pointing out that it would result in over-dependence on China. This
objection is similar to second thoughts that many industries and
companies are having for being overly dependent on China for their
supply chains of manufactured goods like smartphones and ibuprofen. In
this sense, the EB5 industry is no different than other parts of the US
economy in over-reliance on China. Companies are planning to solve the
problem of too-concentrated-a-supply-
<wbr>
chain by diversifying outside of China going forward for all manner
of supply chains including smartphones and ibuprofen. Perhaps, all
objections to the administration’s EB5 solution can be overcome by
exempting China from the increase in EB5 quota, thus getting EB5
investments from Vietnam, India, Korea & Brazil instead—from
countries that are friendly to America—which will result in a more
diversified and therefore sounder supply chain for investment
immigration. Exempting China from EB5 expansion would overcome all
current political opposition to this proposal and facilitate
inclusion of EB5 expansion in the massive Coronavirus legislation,
and its passage into law of the land.

Congress appears to be pairing EB5 expansion with the dropping of proposals
for massive expansion of H2A and H2B numbers (in light of the massive
layoffs across the economy) which were being negotiated in Congress. We
also strongly recommend dramatically liberalizing Physician Immigration in
this Coronavirus package—we will need many times the number of doctors we
have. Immigration is an integral part of America, so it is natural that
immigration reform is an integral part of any solution to our nation’s
Coronavirus crisis.
