Madam President. Russell Burgoise was quoted in an April 13. 1998 New York Times article. He is a spokesman for the Immigration Service. He said: "These plans dont meet either the spirit or the letter of the law." Recently. when the INS sought to revoke up to 5.000 visas. the New York Times in the same article said "influential Members of Congress protested the Government was changing rules in midstream." and the INS backed off. Late in 1997. the Times of Oman. not a widely read paper in Washington. contained an advertisement which said: "U.S. green card for anyone who can show U.S. $500.000." They ought to be prosecuted for misleading advertising. It doesnt take $500.000. just $100.000 would do fine if you know the right consultant in this country. It is an interesting thing that it took these consultants and these limited partnerships to figure out how to get the program going. Until the latter part of 1996. the investor visa program had been an even worse disaster than its worst criticsnamely mehad predicted. Nobody was showing much interest. In 1992. 280 people applied. 240 were approved.
