==Huawei scandal==
As Deputy Secretary of DHS in the [[Obama administration]], Mayorkas was investigated for pushing for a [[visa]] for a vice president of [[Huawei]], the main Chinese [[technology]] company that was sanctioned for providing [[software]] that could be used to spy on American citizens. The visa was in return for its investment in Gulf Coast Funds Management, a company partly headed by [[Hillary Clinton]]’s brother [[Tony Rodham]]. Gulf Coast sought investment capital under the EB-5 program from Huawei for Green Tech Automotive, a car company owned by former [[DNC]] Chair and [[Virginia]] governor [[Terry McAuliffe]].
Mayorkas came under investigation by the DHS [[Inspector General]] for his role in helping Gulf Coast secure approval to participate in the EB-5 program after it had been turned down by DHS and its appeal was rejected. At the time, Mayorkas was head of the United State Citizenship and Immigration Services, charged with administering the EB-5 program that offers foreign investors, mainly [[Chinese]], a path to citizenship in return for a $500,000 cash investment that is used to create 10 jobs in the U.S..
The Inspector General also criticized Mayorkas for doing the bidding of former Senate Majority Leader [[Harry Reid]] by expediting the “review of investor petitions involved in funding a [[Las Vegas]] hotel and casino notwithstanding the career staff’s original decision not to do so.” The inspector general said “Mayorkas pressured staff to expedite the review. He also took the extraordinary step of requiring staff to brief Senator Reid’s staff on a weekly basis for several months.”
The Mayorkas scandal developed when McAuliffe wanted to build a plant to manufacture electric cars in the U.S.. To raise money for the project, McAuliffe went to China with [[Bill Clinton]] and Tony Rodham to speak to potential investors. Huawei, eager to get its top officials into the U.S. and to lift the stigma of having been denied visas, was more than willing to invest in Rodham’s and McAuliffe’s company in return for visas.
Huawei had repeatedly tried to purchase stakes in American telephone and communications companies, only to be denied permission by the [[CFIUS|Foreign Investment Review Board]] on [[national security]] grounds because of links to the [[Chinese military]].
