American promise sold out!

The New York Time reported this On June 25, 2019; I encourage all to read the article By Azam Ahmed and Kirk Semple

"MEXICO CITY — The father and daughter lie face down in the muddy water along the banks of the Rio Grande, her tiny head tucked inside his T-shirt, an arm draped over his neck.

The portrait of desperation was captured on Monday by the journalist Julia Le Duc, in the hours after Óscar Alberto Martínez Ramírez died with his 23-month-old daughter, Valeria, as they tried to cross from Mexico to the United States.

The image represents a poignant distillation of the perilous journey migrants face on their passage north to the United States, and the tragic consequences that often go unseen in the loud and caustic debate over border policy.

It recalled other powerful and sometimes disturbing photos that have galvanized public attention to the horrors of war and the acute suffering of individual refugees and migrants — personal stories that are often obscured by larger events."

I ask you now how can we all support an immigration program that allows the rich to receive a FREE green card ( permanent residency) for themselves and their families?  

EB5 Regional Center program has completely changed it's true intent. The investments are not at risk; they are converted to preferred returns with multiple guarantees and MUST be paid back to the investor. It is a graveyard for American Businessmen.

The rich and famous pay a mere $500,000 to secure a permanent residency for their entire family. ( yes the whole family including the children) And receive a refund of their full investment plus interest at the end of their short investment term, Oscar Martinez had to take the long journey from El Salvador to Rio Grande River to reach his promised land. His death is a tragedy.

I am a proud citizen of the United States, as a young teenager leaving my country of turmoil and hate, America and its citizens took me in with open arms. The recent events have shattered my heart, and it must be a reminder for all of us not to let it shatter our spirit.

I can not bring myself to continue to go on and pretend that it does not matter because it does! I can not continue to support the EB5 Regional Center Program as it stands today.
