And your point? Are they funneling immigrants here?

Looks like it. I surfed their site and they are using a law that congress passed in 1990 to ‘stimulate the economy’ that allows anyone with 500k to invest in a business in low income or disadvantaged neighborhoods ect. a permanent resident visa in the US. (I wondered why foreigners own all the 7-11s) It doesn't have to be their money either --- it can be borrowed or a gift. It looks like if they pony up the cash, they get the paper – no questions asked.

They also offer 'second passports' for "business people" who for political reasons don't want to travel on their own passport. It looks like Grenada will sell anyone a passport.

It all looks to be perfectly legal and incredibly stupid.

There are probably dozens of law firms doing the same thing.
