EB5 Investment and National Security in a Changing Global Landscape

EB5 Investment

Why EB5 Matters More Today

The EB5 Immigrant Investor Program remains one of the most effective ways to strengthen economic growth in the United States. It attracts lawful capital, creates American jobs, and supports long term development. As a former Chief of Staff at United States Customs and Border Protection, I understand how critical it is to safeguard entry points into our country while encouraging responsible investment.

Today, as a leader in the EB5 space and as CEO of Intermestic Partners, and founder of Intermestic Capital, I see the program becoming more important for national security and economic competitiveness.

Across my recent travels in Mexico, business owners and families consistently ask about EB5. Their interest reflects a simple truth. The United States remains a safe harbor for investors who want stability despite our political tensions.

The Security Value of a Strong EB5 Program

EB5 channels investment into verified projects that create at least ten American jobs. The program includes strict source of funds verification and enhanced background checks. These measures protect national security while encouraging economic activity. My experience overseeing sensitive programs at CBP reinforces how valuable vetted legal pathways are compared to unmanaged migration or illicit financial flows.

Independent studies found that EB5 projects generated more than twenty billion dollars in economic activity during a single five year window, all while operating under strong security and compliance safeguards.

Real Impact on the Ground

At Intermestic Capital, our flagship investment EB5 project in Yuma, Arizona is a prime example. The solar powered cobalt processing facility is the first of its kind in the United States and supports critical mineral independence. It creates high quality jobs, strengthens national supply chains, and reduces reliance on foreign controlled cobalt markets. This type of project shows the best of what EB5 can deliver when aligned with national priorities.

A Pathway Investors Can Trust

EB5 succeeds when it blends rigorous security with meaningful economic outcomes. That balance allows families to invest legally and confidently while supporting American communities. For many international investors, especially in Mexico, it offers a clear and stable path at a moment when global uncertainty is rising.
