I loved the part where they tried to kick the press out "this is not the story we want"
What's really funny about, back when it was about to expire, this was said

The White House issued a statement to The Washington Post this week saying that the Trump administration is weighing changes to the foreign investor visa program. “There are serious concerns held by the administration regarding the EB-5 visa program, in part because it is not being used as it was primarily intended,” said Michael Short, a White House spokesman. “The administration is continuing to evaluate reforms to the program, which we believe is in need of substantial repair.”
And here we are in may, it was quietly extended again by the GOP. But now they're going to talk about reform. Minimum investment amounts, stricter oversight and reclassification of targeted employment areas (TEAs) /wink
All the while trump's son in law is rushing to push as many through as he can. Go figure.
Also remember quite a bit of trump supporters blaming this on obama the last time the GOP quietly renewed it. Wonder what their excuse is going to be now.
