And I’d bet some of those rich people are rapists, maybe some good people

But most of them are poor. At least the voting folk

Why stop at 5 million? Make it a hundred million…. If you’re selling out the United States don’t go cheap

Isn't this replacing the existing EB-5 visa? As in, this is nothing new?

And yet there is the persistent pretense that MAGA is committed to standing up for ordinary Americans against corrupt elites. One’s head spins.

For whatever reason, their base really believes they are closer to being millionaires than they are to being homeless. Just one less brown lady taking that promotion, and they're in the big time!

Yeah, and most of MAGA is bizarrely in line with those who are screwing them.

Only the worst people. Criminals and corrupt oligarchs. Guarantee that money won’t be going in the treasury.

There’s been a program to trade investments for green cards since 1990. It costs a lot less than $5 million and has to be targeted at specific areas w development challenges. Opening it up at high prices without meaningful review is that special Trump twist. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/permanent-workers/eb-5-immigrant-investor-program
