Mayorkas put out a statement after the inspector general report came out saying he disagreed with the findings and had improved the program through “hands-on” administration.“While I disagree with the Inspector General’s report, I will certainly learn from it and from this process,” Mayorkas said.

“I appreciate and embrace Secretary Johnson’s decision to create a new protocol to ensure the EB-5 program is free from the reality or perception of improper outside influence.”As the leader of U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services, I had the responsibility to ensure that cases, including the three that are the focus of the report, were decided as the law required and that agency errors were corrected.”I fulfilled that responsibility and I also took steps to ensure that my involvement was understood by those around me,” he continued.”The EB-5 program was badly broken when I arrived at USCIS.”There was erroneous decision-making and insufficient security vetting of cases.”I could not and did not turn my back on my responsibility to address those grave problems,” Mayorkas added.”I made improving the program a priority and I did so in a hands-on manner, through cases, policies, and sweeping personnel and organizational changes.”The Biden campaign defended the pick, telling Fox News that the inspector general report did not uncover any legal wrongdoing by Mayorkas.[RELATED] Biden’s Cancer Charity Caught Funneling Millions to Executives

Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) is looking to expand the number of wealthy foreign nationals who can pay their way to permanent legal residency in the U.S. under the EB-5 visa. Cornyn is floating draft legislation that would essentially erase the current cap for EB-5 visas, which is set at 10,000 a year. Under the EB-5 visa, foreign nationals can claim that they will invest $500,000 and thus receive Green Cards for their family for at least two years, with pathways to citizenship available as well. The only requirement is that the EB-5 holder create 10 U.S. jobs.
