As a part of the Trump administration’s hardline approach to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are calling for a reevaluation of the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program which they say the CCP could be taking advantage of.

“Although the EB-5 program’s goal of stimulating capital investment and job creation in the United States is laudable, it has become clear in recent years that the CCP may be abusing the program to gain access to U.S. permanent residency for their members,” Reps. Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and Guy Reschenthaler (R-Penn.), said in a letter to Gene Dodaro, U.S. comptroller general and head of the Government Accountability Office (GAO).
