Circa 2012, Sen Charles Grassley (Repub-Iowa) exposed the DHS-USCIS visa program--Sen Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:

1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.

2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.

3) Use by terrorists.

4) Investment fraud by regional center.

5) Investment fraud by investors.

6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.

7) Illicit finance/money laundering.

Rodriguez's expedited visa consideration came despite warnings from career USCIS officials that applicants had (1) forged paperwork, (2) tried to conceal the sources of their investment, and, (3) in one case, had ties to a child pornography business.
