Mr. President. at 1:30 a.m. Wednesday morning. an omnibus appropriations bill was filed to keep government operating for the remainder of this fiscal year. This bill. which will be voted on by the House on Friday. includes a straight and clean extension of a program called the EB5 Immigrant Investor Program. This program has been plagued with fraud and abuse. but more importantly it poses significant national security risks. Allegations suggesting the EB5 program may be facilitating terrorist travel. economic espionage. money laundering. and investment fraud are warnings against this bill too serious to ignore. Yet they are being ignored.
