You get US citizenship easily in 1-2 years if you work in certain sectors or you invest 100k $ in an US venture (it depends on your origin too - people from the UK, Canada or germany will have it much easier as some nepalese or sub sahara african).
No. It doesn't depend on your origin. It doesn't matter if you are from Somalia or Iceland. The visas are given irrespective of the nationality. And the amount is not $100K. The EB5 visa requires a minimum investment of $500,000 to $1,000,000 (depending on the jurisdiction). There are other requirements as well, such as the creation of jobs for a minimum of 10 US nationals.
Please research because you either are misinformed or not informed at all.
1. It depends on country of origin, because the US has contigents.
It behaves similar for the diversity visa program.
2. Im talking about the E-2 visa which on the low end needs 75.000$.
Edit
I researched a bit more and there is actually a huge problem with the naturalisation process. There exist a backlog of over 500.000 cases and over 350.000 are from south america and mexico.

That's not the normal process of applying for citizenship at all. And like anyone from Mexico is going to get "refugee status."
ROFL, with one of the worst drug/corruption issues in the world, why wouldn't Mexico have refugees? People flee drug lords/corrupt police on a pretty regular basis. Also, it's like the whole South America. I mean, if it's bad enough that we have to build a wall to keep the 'bad hombres' out, why the hell wouldn't people possibly be fleeing a fucked up situation?
