I remain profoundly ashamed that Al Jazeera rather than an American or local news outlet had to break this story.

Huh. On the freeway (CA-84) in the SF Bay Area, I keep on seeing an ad for some seminar on H1-B to EB-5 (with Bobby Jindal headlining as a speaker). I wonder if it's related, other than (presumably) being a conduit to invest in Louisiana.

(Lots of people on H1-B's especially from India want a faster path to get a green card rather than be stuck in limbo for decades..

Likewise, the South China Morning Post has broken more stories on foreign activity in Canadian real estate markets than Canadian newspapers combined.
