I WARNED GRENADA ABOUT ITS HANG SHENG CHINA SCAM; U.S. IMPOSES A $15,000 VISA BOND

If you were wondering when the U.S. Department of State was going to respond to Grenada's continued massive sale of CBI passports to Chinese nationals, giving them the ability to take advantage of Grenada's unique to the Caribbean E-2 visa privileges, it happened today, when Secretary MARCO RUBIO announced that the Eastern Caribbean state is one of twelve new high risk jurisdictions whose nationals must now post an expensive bond, when applying for a visa. Don't native-born Grenadians understand that this is the American response to their government's actions, and that the continued existence of that valued E-2 visa eligibility that they currently enjoy is at risk?

Industry apologists have been downplaying Grenada's Prime Minister's intense political alliance with the Peoples' Republic of China, and ignoring the country's continued business relationship with the Chinese-controlled HANG SHENG GROUP. A number of Chinese nationals, all holding CBI passports from the Caribbean, have been arrested in the United States on a variety of criminal charges, including white collar crime and industrial espionage conduced on behalf of China, and this new $15,000 visa bond, as what was previously imposed on citizens of Antigua & Dominica, also CBI-issuing states, is the real reason for this new American action.

I have repeatedly warned Grenada about the probable consequences of operating a rogue CBI program. Wake up, Grenada, before you see an even stronger American response to your sale of CBI passports to criminals and high risk individuals targeting the United States for China. Reform your CBI program; if you cannot , then terminate it.
