It is our great pleasure to announce that the EB-5 Regional Center program will be reauthorized with the Omnibus on March 15, 2022. The text of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2022 was just released and Division BB, includes the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022. (1/3)
The omnibus also includes our FIFPA language (Section 108 of Division BB) which will ensure that investors will not have to suffer through this ordeal ever again. (2/3)
We will be putting out our analysis of the bill soon. Until then, thank you for your unwavering support to our organization - we have even bigger plans for the future! #eb5 (3/3)
The recent attention in the media to the pressing issue of #DocumentedDreamers gives us an opportunity to take a bigger view of immigration issues. The issue of kids aging-out is an unintended though not unforeseeable consequence of massive #GCBacklogs.🧵 👇 1/9
Fundamentally, this is a demand-supply and allocation issue. The number of #GC annually given out has not changed meaningfully since 1990. Meanwhile the US economy and labor market today are completely different from back then. 2/9
On top of this supply issue of #GC is the fact that their allocation is not equitable. How long you wait in line, usually boils down to the country you were born in. Not on skills, education, work experience, duration of stay in the US or contribution to the economy. 3/9
THREAD: In the absence of Congressional action on immigration reform, administrations have taken charge. The result? Unpredictable policies that disrupt businesses and families.

This is not a comprehensive plan for immigration reform; it’s a shortlist of the ideas that will most obviously benefit Americans.
Nativist sentiment permeates American politics right now. It's important to demonstrate how immigration reform can serve the national interest.

We’ve carefully selected a range of academics, scholars, entrepreneurs, lawmakers, lawyers, advocates, and immigrant contributors from a broad range of ideological spectrums to weigh in.
Without further ado, here are the reforms they believe could best serve our citizens.

Winter is coming...preceded by the Fall 2018 Unified Regulatory Agenda from @DHSgov. Once again, semi-annually, it's time to see what new #immigration actions we might find buried in this list of rulemaking plans that's hiding in plain sight? 1/ reginfo.gov/public/do/eAge…
Let's start with @DHSgov proposals that didn't appear in the prior regulatory agenda this past spring. (These are all draft rules that haven't been published yet, and won't take effect for months or years, after a full public notice-and-comment process.) 2/
Two new actions affecting #asylum-seekers, tightening "credible fear" determinations and eligibility for work permits, both in the name of deterrence... 3/

Giuliani is here:
And Vanetik is/was tied to Great America PAC (he's on the literature!), yet they denied it when McClatchy investigative reporters asked about it. Giuliani is there too:
"Vanetik is listed as one of 14 members of a leadership committee for the Great America PAC, the largest pro-Trump PAC in the last election, which reported it raised more than $30 million...."
In the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of ... the semi-annual OMB Unified Regulatory Agenda. What new immigration actions might we find buried in this list of federal agency rulemaking plans that's hiding in plain sight? 1/ reginfo.gov/public/do/eAge…
