Kraft and Jeffries meet in New York to discuss EB-5 Legislation

Tuesday, September 17, 2019 - FirstPathway Partners' CEO and IIUSA President, Bob Kraft, met with Congressman Hakeen Jeffries in New York City yesterday. Jeffries represents New York and is Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, as well as a member of the House Judiciary Committee. The event, organized by IIUSA, was to discuss EB-5 legislation as the association works towards a meaningful and long-term reauthorization for the program.

IIUSA recently reported on the meeting, sharing the following:

An avid supporter of immigration reform in the past, Congressman Jeffries has previously collaborated with the New York Immigration Coalition and the Fair Immigration Reform Movement in his sustained efforts to bring comprehensive changes to the U.S. immigration system. Congressman Jeffries opened the dialogue by emphasizing the extensive diversity of his constituents, a majority of whom are immigrants or children of immigrants, and the colloquial “American dream” that many of them share. This dream, Jeffries stated, “must be preserved” and included in the larger narrative of immigration policy. Congressman Jeffries, who is very knowledgeable about EB-5, emphasized that it is vital that EB-5 stakeholders come together and support sustainable changes to a program that will bolster its effectivity and availability by engaging the bicameral legislature.
