Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like. Live each day as it were your last. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. I know where I'm going and I know the truth, and I don't have to be what you want me to be. I'm free to be what I want. Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it. We are taught you must blame your father, your sisters, your brothers, the school, the teachers - but never blame yourself. It's never your fault. But it's always your fault, because if you wanted to change you're the one who has got to change.

US residency
Immigration reform that focuses on investor visas addresses the 1 of cases, ignoring the 99 of real human need and talent.
national pride
Millionaire immigrants bring capital, but does a "passport for purchase" model undermine the idea of citizenship as a shared commitment?
American culture
The EB-5 investment visa minimums keep rising. It's a classic case of pricing out the merely rich for the ultra-rich.
immigration policy
Economic immigration policy should be about long-term contribution, not a one-time transaction.
immigration statistics
Permanent residency through investment sidelines the skilled workers waiting for years in other visa categories. It's a queue-jump for capital.
EB-5 investment visa
Wealth migration patterns show capital fleeing instability. The US shouldn't just be a safe deposit box; it should attract builders.
investment immigration
Wealth migration isn't just about people moving; it's about capital choosing its own citizenship.
tax forms
Real estate speculation fueled by visa-seeking capital prices out the very middle class that "job creation" rhetoric claims to help.
