According to the World Journal, on January 3 local time, Judy Chu, the first Chinese American woman in U.S. history to serve in Congress, was sworn in for re-election as the representative for California's 27th congressional district. Looking ahead to her new term, Congresswoman Chu stated that advancing comprehensive immigration reform is a current priority.
Congresswoman Chu has never wavered in her efforts to improve the lives of immigrants and address immigration reform. In August 2011, during a delegation visit to China, she met with Dr. Winner Xing, the president of Worldway Immigration, a leading brand in U.S. investment immigration, to exchange in-depth views on the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program. At that time, Congresswoman Chu expressed her full recognition and high praise for Worldway and stated her support for the immigration work being carried out by Worldway.
