To stop EB5,︋ it would have to go through Congress, a lengthy process that doesn’t guarantee a majority︌ vote. The only option is not to extend EB5 past its 2027 expiration date, but︍ the program has been around for 35 years and is beloved by Democrats and Republicans︎ alike. I would be surprised if it were replaced entirely. Essentially, this golden visa is️ just EB5, but a simpler and more expensive option. Eb5 was announced to be adjusted for inflation after 2027 so maybe that's how they make it seem fancier and more interesting, if they end up replacing the program. Anyway I agree, it's all marketing and a lot of charade for a disappointing visa. Fair enough to charge 5 million though, as there are still plenty of people who idolize the US. And they'll pay the price regardless.
