One Small Step on Immigration: Comprehensive reform seems unlikely this year, but we applaud Rep. Jared Polis’ plan to create "Startup Visas."

Denver Post: Polis has proposed reforming the EB-5 Visa program to make it easier for foreign entrepreneurs to start businesses in the United States and, in the process, create much-needed jobs. The Boulder Democrat has written legislation that would increase the number of visas set aside for foreign investors and entrepreneurs who make sizable investments by opening businesses here. They're called Startup Visas. To qualify for the program, a foreign investor would be on the hook to create 10 jobs – or five jobs in low-income or rural areas.
