Chinese Buying Their Way Into the US

Up to 10,000 EB-5 visas are issued each year. Chinese nationals typically account for three-quarters of them, but Canada consistently ranks among the top 20 source countries. In 2017, according to U.S. State Department statistics, 55 EB-5 visas were issued to Canadian investors and family members.
Yes, you can buy your way into U.S. citizenship

Do you feel it is fair that the rich get to buy their way into the US while the poor have to sneak across the border and live as illegals?

Really unfair but where would America be without immigrants moving to America and investing?

No it's not fair at all, although another thing to note is that it's not even all that useful for the U.S. The current plan says they can pay either $500,000 or $1,000,000, but that will hardly put a dent in the National Debt.

If they're issuing 10,000 such visas per year, then they should charge $2.2 billion apiece. Not to invest in businesses, but to pay off the National Debt. After a year of this, it will be completely paid off.

That's the only thing that would be beneficial to the U.S. What they have now is useless.

It's as fair as things generally are.

There are also a lot of Chinese that apply for visas wait until they are granted and enter the country legally, without "buying" their way in.
