This appears working for now
Rand: The founders would be SHOCKED that Congress has given up its authority
.. The House has given away its power to tax.
Please do go back to DU. And take Randcid with you.
He thinks that congress can negotiate tariffs with other nations?
Congress cannot even agree whether to inhale or exhale at any given moment.
That job requires an executive decision maker…and we the people elected one!
All congress does is decide how much to shakedown We the People and max our giant credit card out…like an out of control wife.
He needs to keep his criticism directed at congress not OUR president.
Maybe Congress should have done something over the last few decades
Yes. Rand should take his bosom buddy Massie and the sob sisters Collins and Murkowski and
GO.
Rand Paul is as big a blowhard as Lindsey Graham.
Rand has Fans? I’m shocked.
Rand Paul is a fraud.
He’s toast.
Never more.
So, going to back Wall Street and globalists while defending unfair trade policies that screw over American businesses and workers?
Thanks, but we’ve all heard your anti everything Trump screeds before. Are you trying to become the new John McCain, Rand?
Who cares.
Where do we get such statesmen like this moron.
The protection of private property is the No. 1 tenet of libertarianism, and Rand refuses to protect American businesses from foreign assaults.
Rand has gotta protect his Chinese benefactors and is not worth listening too.
F Rand Paul and his Anti-Semite Supporters.

Rand Paul is bought and paid for by Communist China. That’s why he sold out President Trump and the Republican Party by hooking up with far left Democrats in the Senate to derail President Trump’s tariffs on foreign countries ripping off the United States. Rand Paul has a broken moral compass and a complete loss of ethics.

DOGE Police Blotter: Damning evidence of Communist China’s unofficial lobbyist Senator Rand Paul raking in massive campaign contributions from scandal-ridden operatives involved in flooding the U.S. with Communist Chinese immigrants via expensive EB-5 visa green cards. Rand Paul’s actions and treasonous pro-China votes in the Senate and his conspiring with Senate Democrats to block President Trump’s tariff increases are further evidence that Rand Paul has been bought off by China and its surrogates in the U.S..
Rand Paul’s PAC and senate campaign have raked in tens of thousands of dollars from the owners and employees of the U.S. Immigration Fund, an unseemly brokerage facilitating wealthy foreign investors and their families to obtain EB-5 visas and permanent green card residency in the U.S.
The Mastroianni Clan operates the U.S. Immigration Fund. Members of the Mastroianni Clan and their employees have poured money into Rand Paul’s campaign coffers.
Nicholas Mastroianni II was sued by Chinese nationals in a $99.5 million fraudulent scheme involving the EB-5 visa program. Mastroianni settled the case for tens of millions of dollars. Mastroianni has a lengthy criminal history including four arrests for felony possession of a controlled substance in Rhode Island.
Mastroianni’s website boasts of involvement with $5.5 billion in development projects over the years, funded with $1.4 billion in EB-5 money, resulting in “40,000 jobs created.” Those are massive sums given that the entire EB-5 system raised a total of about $1.8 billion the previous year. Forest City Ratner CEO MaryAnne Gilmartin calls Mastroianni the “ ‘go-to’ leader in the field of EB-5 funding.”
The Immigrant Investor Visa Program was created in 1990. It provides a method for eligible immigrant investors to become lawful permanent residents—informally known as “green card” holders—by investing substantial capital to finance a U.S. business as long as it creates at least 10 new, full-time jobs for Americans and work-authorized immigrants.
The EB-5 visa program has been wracked with fraud and corruption since its conception.
A 2015 study found “that Chinese wealthy private business owners are mainly participants in EB-5 for acquiring a U.S. green card on behalf of their young adult children. The rate of return of the EB-5 program for investors is a low-priority item, less important than return of capital.
In 2013, the SEC issued an investor alert to warn investors about an increase in fraudulent investment scams that exploit the EB-5 visa program.
Between 2009 and 2013, GreenTech Automotive, led by founder and CEO Charlie Wang, raised $141.5 million from Chinese investors under the EB-5 program. As of August 2013, however, out of 91 foreign investors in GreenTech, only one had received permanent residency status. In Nov. 2017, a total of 32 Chinese investors in the company brought a $17 million fraud lawsuit against Greentech and its principals. GreenTech declared bankruptcy in Feb. 2018.
Vermont’s EB-5 program was “burned” with the “massive eight-year fraudulent scheme” in which the owners of Jay Peak Ski Resort in Vermont misappropriated funds for a $350 million EB-5 project.
Based on the EB‐5 Reform and Integrity Act, which was signed into law on March 15, 2022, the minimum investment requirement to qualify under the EB-5 program is $1,050,000. The investment requirement is reduced to $800,000 if the investment is made in a qualifying infrastructure project or Targeted Employment Area.
As of April 23, 2020, 78,278 investors have applied for the EB-5 program. Most investors—about 80%—come from four countries: China, South Korea, Taiwan and the United Kingdom. Large numbers of applicants have also come from Vietnam, India, Brazil, Mexico, and Nigeria. In 2014, 85% of the 10,692 EB-5 visas issued were for Chinese nationals.
