Kushners Selling Green Cards in China

Jared Kushner's company -- to which he and Ivanka still have close ties -- is selling American residency permits to investors in China:
The Kushner Companies’ China roadshow, promoting $500,000 investments in New Jersey real estate as the path to a residency card in the United States, moved to Shanghai on Sunday after a similar pitch on Saturday in Beijing.
Trump's big pitch for the election was that the United States was being sold out to the Chinese, to the Mexicans, to the Canadians, to ISIS. He won largely on the strength of the idea that foreigners are taking over this country.

And here's Jared Kushner's company, literally selling out pieces of the United States to wealthy Chinese investors so they can come live in the United States.

It's a huge conflict of interest. Trump and his cronies say it isn't, but the Chinese who are buying into it think otherwise:
But for Bi Ting, who attended the event, part of the appeal was political: Jared Kushner is the son-in-law of — and a powerful adviser to — President Trump. Virtually unheard-of in China just months ago, he is now known here as a deeply influential figure in American politics. ... “The Trump relationship is an extra point for me,” Ms. Bi said, adding that she and her husband had not decided whether to invest.
Trump himself has been profiting for decades by selling hundreds of millions of dollars worth of real estate to Russian oligarchs and their children who wish to shelter their ill-gotten gains in American real estate.

Trump is on the warpath kicking out immigrants who do the grunt work that Americans simply refuse to do -- clean our hotel rooms, cook our food, pick our tomatoes, and chop up chickens in slaughterhouses. But he and is cronies are using their positions of power to bring wealthy foreigners in to buy up the country.

Trump has conned middle America into thinking that this billionaire-on-paper is one of them. But he's really just another one of these stateless international oligarchs who have no loyalty to any country but themselves.
