Nomination: Jared Kushner
Shonky act: Selling US residencies to Chinese communists for $500k a pop
Description:
You know how you got a free gift in a packet of Corn Flakes? Give Jared Kushner money and you get a US residency with your Corn Flakes!
The Kushner family hoped to lure investments from wealthy business owners in China with the promise of American visas. White House adviser and President Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, marketed a Kushner-owned property in New Jersey with the claim of “invest in the development and get into the United States on a so-called EB-5 visa”. The EB-5 visa allows immigrants a path to a green card if they invest more than $500,000 in a project that creates jobs in the United States.
An ad for the event, held at a Ritz-Carlton hotel, said "
Invest $500,000 and immigrate to the United States."
