Chinese buying EB-5 projects

Nicole Kushner Meyer, the sister of White House adviser and President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, spoke at an immigration event in Beijing recently. She was marketing a Kushner-owned property in New Jersey to Chinese investors.  Chinese can invest in the development and get into the United States on a so-called EB-5 visa.
