The father of a Muslim American soldier killed in Iraq who is caught up in a war of words with Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is an immigration lawyer who specializes in a highly controversial program accused of letting immigrants buy their way into the U.S.

Khizr M. Khan's website notes that he works to help clients with the E-2 and EB-5 programs that let overseas investors buy into U.S. companies and also provides green cards for family members.

It also said that he helps in the purchase of U.S. real estate and businesses. The website lists his ability to practice in New York, though it gives a Washington phone number for the lawyer who lives in Virginia. A man who answered the phone said the website was correct, though he would not identify himself.

"The E-2 and EB-5 are two of the most notoriously abused visa categories that essentially allow wealthy foreigners to buy their way to U.S. residency, and possibly citizenship, with a relatively modest investment," said Jessica Vaughan, the policy director for the Center for Immigration Studies.Stay abreast of the latest developments from nation's capital and beyond with curated News Alerts from the Washington Examiner news desk and delivered to your inbox.
The EB-5 program has been caught up in multiple scandals and critics are pressing Congress to kill it.

"The EB-5 is literally a 'citizenship for sale' program in which a visa for a whole can be bought for as little $500,000," Vaughan told Secrets. "It is literally a 'citizenship for sale' program, and it's an amazing deal. Compared to other countries, America is the Walmart of investor visa programs," she added.

One criticism is that it allows an immigrant to invest $500,000 in an approved type of business and in return get a set of green cards for the investor, the investor's spouse, and all their under 21-years-of-age children.

Other documented problems include foreigners getting fleeced in fraudulent schemes to help them invest in the U.S.
There is no indication that Khan's clients have been caught up in the controversies

The Center for Immigration Studies has written several reports on problems with the green card investor program.
Khan also offers other immigration services, according to his website:

Oh this man is just another bottom of the barrel lousy immigrant who came here to profit by importing more foreigners of his kind into the United States. It's just sickening. There should be a rule that if you are a first generation immigrant, you are forbidden of any involvement in any immigration program of any kind, in other words, BARRED FROM THE PROFESSION, and that should be a signed agreement and a condition of entry. Violating it would result in immediate deportation and revocation of citizenship if they've been naturalized. Same with 501 C 3's. No first generation immigrant should be able to form a 501 C 3, same agreement, same conditions. BARRED!!

Remember folks, this is political war to the finish. Don't give these people an inch. Stand by Trump. When all the Media Fur and Fuzz is swept away, he's right. His position on the ban is right, his response to attacks is right. People who attack Trump are on the take, they're rotten, they're weak, they're traitors selling US out, and they're lining their pockets every day, just like Khan from the very policies we're fighting to change so we can fix our country. Don't ever doubt it.

And judging from the multiple stories now about why Khan came here in 1980, for what purpose, where they "landed" upon their arrival and I'm sure much more is now all in question indicating that there was immigration fraud involved in his family's entry into the country to begin with.
