"it is widely acknowledged that the •••EB-5 program is riddled with flaws and corruption.••• Maybe it is only here on Capitol Hill—on this island surrounded by reality—that we can choose to plug our ears and refuse to listen to commonly accepted facts.

The EB-5 Visa may have problems, but it pales in comparison to other GOP-establishment funded visa corruption.
