Despite its flaws, the success of the EB-5 program has been impressive. The statistics speak for themselves. Since 2005, more than $6.5 billion has been invested in qualified American projects, creating 131,000 American jobs. The program puts EB-5 capital to work in a diverse range of industries – from commercial real estate, to energy, to healthcare, and education. State and local governments have seen firsthand how critical this program is to spurring economic development. The U.S. Conference of Mayors and the National Association of Counties have both passed resolutions endorsing the program and urging Congress to protect and make permanent the EB-5 program. The members of these organizations are on the ground, everyday, seeing the real impact that foreign investors can have on a community. Moreover, the Colorado Regional Center has over $210 million of future EB-5 investment dollars currently in the pipeline. It is estimated that this investment will bring another 5,000 full-time jobs throughout the state. The individuals who come to the United States through EB-5 exemplify the American Dream. By providing capital at a time when American financial institutions have been hesitant to lend, EB-5 investors are filling a crucial hole, helping to accelerate our economic recovery, creating jobs and spurring development. They are rebuilding Main Streets and refining our most advanced technologies. The individuals who come to the United States through EB-5 exemplify the American Dream. They have the option to go anywhere in the world, but they choose to come here. They want to be American. They want their children to be American. And they want to invest right here in America. ★ I’ve been able to witness the success of EB-5 firsthand in my home state of Colorado.
