The Trump administration has made significant strides in securing America’s borders, a stark contrast to the chaos under the previous leadership. Now, the focus shifts to crafting immigration policies that align with national interests. President Trump recently addressed key visa programs, including the EB-5 and H-1B visas, emphasizing their role in fostering economic growth while maintaining strict oversight.

The EB-5 visa program, which grants permanent residency to foreign investors who contribute substantial capital to U.S. businesses, is highlighted as a model of responsible immigration. With minimum investments ranging from $800,000 to $1.05 million, the program prioritizes economic contributions over low-skilled labor. It requires applicants to create or preserve at least 10 jobs for American workers, ensuring that immigration bolsters rather than undermines domestic employment.

Critics argue that such programs could displace U.S. citizens, but the EB-5 framework counters this by focusing on high-value investments. Recent reforms, including increased H-1B visa fees, further protect American workers while encouraging foreign capital.

Secure borders are foundational to effective immigration policy. With enforcement restored, the U.S. can now strategically select immigrants who enrich the economy. The EB-5 program exemplifies this approach, ensuring that those admitted contribute meaningfully to America’s prosperity.
