Could the EB-5 Program Be in Trouble

The EB-5 program has always had an unusual combination of supporters. Liberal Senator Pat Leahy (D-VT) and ultra-conservative Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) have always been two of the program’s biggest supporters.

The Observer reports on fears in the EB-5 community regarding the program’s future.
