On the positive side, Harry Reid is offering the dumped applications “Prime Nevada Land” at $42,000 per square foot. Visa included.

I think we did at one time...and it seems possible that we still do.I've followed this type of plan fairly closely largely because Australia once had a plan of this sort that I was interested in.I'm also pretty sure that Britain once had such a plan.IMO these plans,carefully and selectively designed and implemented,make sense.Bringing in hundreds of thousands of dollars in targeted investments..."targeted" meaning limited to a list of opportunities set up by the government...seems to be a no brainer when the cost is simply a Green Card or its equivalent (that's all that Australia was offering,not citizenship).

Yes, you do. Chinese nationals have been buying commercial real estate in order to expedite their immigrant status. I know of one fellow who bought a boarded up tavern in rural Washington State for this purpose. The tavern will not be re-opened. The purpose was not to operate a tavern. It is a commercial property with low property taxes.

From what I read, if you loaned Canada the money, you would never see it again.

The US program is slightly different.

Persons who will invest $500,000 to $1 million in a job-creating enterprise that employs at least 10 full time U.S. workers.

Visas per year: 10,000

Yes we have the same deal here. Any Chinese that can come in with $1 million and create 5 jobs gets a green card.

Yes.

Every country in the world is coming to its senses on immigration, except this one.

Look at the actions Saudi Arabia, Israel, Australia have taken in just the last year. Common sense policies we should emulate: deport illegals, fence the border, turn away bogus “refugees.”

The Chinese (mainland China) have had thousands of years to practice their scams. They’ve gotten good at it.

The vast majority of these Chinese immigrants have landed in Vancouver British Columbia.

College students attend UBC...

...University of a Billion Chinese.

As an ex-canuck who goes back to canada 3 x a year, the Chinese pretty much own canada, especially Vancouver BC. Small cities such as Richmond in the Vancouver area is more vibrant and that’s the reason why the local population (aka native whites) detest the Chinese. Try reading the vancouver Craigslist rants page and it’s pretty much racist.

There’s a reason why Vancouver since the 90’s has been jokingly called Hongcouver.

I say welcome to America.
They are the type of immigrants this country needs.
