BUSTED: Even Jared Kushner's uncle is using Trump to hawk real estate to Chinese investors
Source: Raw Story
Earlier this month, the Washington Post revealed that the company run by Jared Kushners family gave a presentation to wealthy Chinese investors informing them that they could get American visas if they invested in the Kushners real estate projects.
Now Bloomberg reports that yet another Kushner relative has been caught using his ties to the Trump administration to hawk real estate to Chinese investors his uncle, Murray Kushner.
According to Bloomberg, Murrays company the KRE Group made a pitch to Chinese investors for a Jersey City apartment project that used photos of President Donald Trump, First Daughter Ivanka Trump, and son-in-law Jared Kushner to make the sale.
Work hand-in-hand with Trump son-in-law Kushner, said the pitch, which Bloomberg notes tells potential clients that investing $500,000 in the planned apartment tower at 235 Grand Street could help them qualify for a U.S. resident visa through a program known as EB-5, aimed at attracting foreign funds to help develop neglected areas and promote jobs.

This seems to sound like some sort of nefarious secret plot where people connected to Trump are claiming their insider connections can get visas for big money investors, but isn't this just a US policy that's been around for about 30 years?

(16,113 posts)or any other kind of connections. As I believe Muriel explained below, this type of investment currently allows you to get such a visa, and probably would have under the previous administration as well, but there was at least some threat that such investments might be cracked down on (which they have not been yet).

(101,390 posts)and there were rumors that the dubious investment projects, like the Kushners', that don't really create jobs might be cracked down on. But - have no fear! We Kushners know the people who could make that decision - you're safe with us:
"Trump as well as the Kushner familys connection to him was explicitly invoked as the key decision maker in getting the visas. A Times reporter posted this picture of the presentation to Twitter, which Ive marked up to identify the people in the slide
This is needless to say, the most open and flagrant kind of monetizing of the Presidency as bad as anyone could have imagined from the conjoined Trump/Kushner families. The fact that this nationalist, crack down on illegal immigration White House is connected to cash for visas activities like this just adds a layer of oily crust to the corruption. "

(1,128 posts)It is ethically and morally wrong. The silent implication here is that my son/brother/nephew is the President's son-in-law and you would be better off investing in our "scheme" vs someone else's
