Fueling The U.S. Economy Through The EB-5 Investor Immigrant Program

The EB-5 investor immigrant program is fuelling the U.S. economy. Its purpose is straightforward—and its impact is significant. A foreign investor invests $800,000 into a Targeted Employment Area (TEA)—which includes rural communities, high-unemployment areas, or infrastructure projects—or $1,050,000 in other locations. If this investment results in or maintains at least 10 full-time U.S. jobs, the investor (along with their spouse and unmarried children under 21) qualifies for conditional permanent residency, which can change to permanent status after two years.

Since its inception in 1990, the EB-5 program has invested tens of billions of dollars into the American economy, supporting local redevelopment, healthcare, energy, and numerous other initiatives. Invest in the USA (IIUSA) estimates that, between 2008 and 2015 alone, EB-5 generated over $20 billion in foreign direct investment, creating U.S. jobs. A June 2025 study by IIUSA and Fourth Economy highlights ongoing impact through 2019, the most recent data available. Click here to read more.

Group wants Ohio State investigated for DEI violations

A national group focused on eliminating what it calls activism from schools wants the Ohio State University to be investigated for continuing to require diversity, equity and inclusion classes.

In a letter, Defending Education asked Attorney General Dave Yost to investigate OSU, saying a whistleblower provided a screenshot of Ohio State’s student registration portal that shows a “race, ethnicity and gender diversity” requirement still existed as of Oct. 14.

In June, Senate Bill 1 took effect in Ohio, prohibiting DEI classes and trainers at schools across the state.

“We ask that the Office of the Attorney General of Ohio promptly investigate the mandatory coursework at The Ohio State University, act swiftly to remedy any unlawful policies and practices, and order appropriate relief,” Defending Education President Nicole Kelly wrote to Yost.

Ohio State Assistant Vice President of Media and Public Relations Benjamin Johnson told The Center Square the university is aware of the letter and in contact with Yost. He also said OSU is in compliance. Click here to read more.

IRS must focus on nonprofit political violence and the deep state

The IRS is the most unaccountable and bloated agency in the federal government. More importantly, it has failed to address nonprofit groups facilitating political violence tied to Antifa as well as deep state actors that view the service as a playground for targeting. The Trump administration just announced that it will furlough 34,429 IRS employees. This should be the first step in a house cleaning that is long overdue for the government’s least popular agency.

First, the IRS continues to look the other way when nonprofits incite violence. Last weekend, organized rioters attacked ICE agents in Chicago, where officers “were rammed by vehicles and boxed in by 10 cars,” according to Assistant Secretary of Homeland Security Tricia McLaughlin.

Audit reveals flaws in Michigan State Police’s sex offender registry oversight

KALAMAZOO, Mich. — There are potentially thousands of incorrect addresses and instances of improper data validation within Michigan’s Sex Offender Registry, which is maintained by Michigan State Police, according to a new report by the Michigan Office of the Auditor General.

As of July 2024, the registry had 32,215 registrants who need to actively verify their address.

Of a conducted sample of 48 sex offenders, the report found 12 (25%) with unverified addresses. Other sex offenders on the state’s registry were found to be with missing or incorrect conviction information.

These inaccuracies mean a sex offender could wrongfully be taken off the registry earlier than required.

In addition to inaccuracies, the state audit found Michigan State Police’s security over the state’s sex offender registry is not effective.

The audit revealed 80% of sampled state users with registry access could not access authorization forms on record. Click here to read more.
