The Brookings Institution has released a report on “Improving the EB-5 Investor Visa Program: International Financing for U.S. Regional Economic Development.” The report was carefully researched (and even cites me), provides a very nice overview of the EB-5 program’s history and current status, and has awesome graphics. To me its conclusions and recommendations seem theoretically reasonable but practically innocent, making the report not as significant as it might have been. But it’s still a worthwhile reference.
