In a Beijing ballroom, Kushner family pushes $500,000 investor visa to wealthy Chinese

BEIJING — The Kushner family came to the United States as refugees, worked hard and made it big — and if you invest in Kushner properties, so can you.

That was the message delivered Saturday by White House senior adviser Jared Kushner’s sister Nicole Kushner Meyer to a ballroom full of wealthy Chinese investors in Beijing.

Over several hours of slide shows and presentations, representatives from the Kushner family business urged Chinese citizens gathered at a Ritz-Carlton hotel to consider investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a New Jersey luxury apartment complex that would help them secure what’s known as an investor visa.

The potential investors were advised to invest sooner rather than later in case visa rules change under the Trump administration. “Invest early, and you will invest under the old rules,” one speaker said.

They'll probably throw in a night in the Lincoln bedroom as well.

Seems Javanka is somewhat desperate. Just heard today on Progress Radio that Kushner is in debt to the tune of 1 billion so every 500k citizenship helps.

Jimmy Carter had his brother, Billy, and Nixon had someone too. I suppose other presidents also had them.

In the case of Trump though-I don't think he would see this as embarrassing.
