Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 11812402 United States 05/16/2012 07:03 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to blogs.wsj.com] In 2011, 2,969 Chinese citizens applied for the program and 934 were approved, according to the Immigration Service. (Approval doesn’t mean they get citizenship, it just means they can start the program). Their numbers represented more than three quarters of the total number of applicants and approvals. It’s also a huge increase from previous years. In 2007, only 270 Chinese citizens applied and only 161 were approved, accounting for only about a third of the totals. Why the huge increase? The obvious reason is that China has a lot more millionaires and billionaires. But the other reason is that these newly rich want out – or at least an escape hatch and presence in another country in case they have to flee. A recent survey from the Bank of China and wealth researcher Hurun Report found that more than half of China’s millionaires are either considering emigrating or have already taken steps to do so. The survey found that the most common reason cited by respondents for emigrating was their children’s education, followed by a desire for better medical treatment and the fear of pollution in China. The top destination among those emigrating was the U.S., accounting for 40%, followed by Canada with 37%, Singapore with 14% and Europe with 11%, the survey showed. The EB-5 program has stirred controversy for years, with some saying it’s brought welcome investment, and others saying it’’s a mercenary citizenship program that does little for actual employment. Do you think the flood of Chinese investors getting citizenship is good or bad for the economy? |

In exchange, they'll get a unique return on their investment: eligibility for a US green card. Liz Jones reports. Washington state is selling bonds to help replace the aging 520 bridge between Seattle and Bellevue. Recently, some of those bonds were sold to a group of 95 foreign investors — mostly Chinese businessmen. The deal was set up within the framework of a federal immigration program called EB–5. It gives investors visas to live and work in the US. In exchange, they must invest in a development project for at least two years. Mike Mattox: "We have a unique program that's been very, very popular." That's Olympia resident Mike Mattox. He runs a local EB–5 project that is investing in the bridge bonds. His business is called Access The USA. Mattox: "Part of what we do is we look to countries that have a hunger for the opportunities we have in the US, then of course look for folks that have the ability to invest in what we're doing." In other words, he's looking for millionaires. The minimum investment is $500,000. Altogether, the group bought $48 million of bonds. That's about 10 percent of the bonds sold so far. This deal is believed to be the first time the state has used the EB–5 program to fund a public project. |

Washington state is taking advantage of one potentially lucrative source to help fix the problem by offering foreign citizens opportunities to earn green cards to live and work in the United States in exchange for an investment in public projects. Already, 95 would-be immigrants, mostly Chinese, have invested nearly $48 million in a company set up to buy bonds funding the replacement for the aging State Route 520 floating bridge across Lake Washington. If the deal receives final approval, the 95 would be eligible to apply for green cards to live and work in America. The innovative deal is believed to be one of the first times the federal government’s Immigrant Investor Program, also known as EB-5, has been used to fund a public infrastructure project using municipal bonds anywhere in the United States.
