The problem we have is with UNLIMITED Student Visas that are filling our college classrooms,** internship visas, visa extensions, and H-1B Visa abuse by replacement of US workers and US workers having to train their replacements, etc.

Bringing money into the US from any Country for investment is not a problem. It generates jobs. Instead of sending money out of the country supporting foreign investment, money comes into the US.

It may be a pathway to residence for the investor, but if a businessman from ANY country is willing to bring in a sizable sum of money to invest in a businesss or start a new business, they usually are granted a way to relocate their family just like would occur with any employee transfer.

I have been a fierce critic of the H-1B visa program for months if not years—have probably posted a dozen or more articles myself. However, I don’t see this as a Yuuuuge story.

As an aside, my son, a computer engineer in San Jose, just lost his job 2 weeks ago due the elimination of his technology group—i.e., no fault of his own. So I am personally and painfully very aware of the H-1B Visa situation as my son is now competing with the Tech Industry Cheap Labor Express H-1B visa holders in the job market :(
