Trump: "We're gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card, this is a gold card. We're gonna put a price on that card of about $5 million and that's going to give you green card privileges, plus. It's gonna be a route to citizenship, and wealthy people will be coming into our country."

Imma guess a long time.
So. Nothing new under the sun.
(serious question, I thought if you bring loads of money you will have a very easy way to live in the US?)
Dumb question: Once courts rule that $5m for citizenship is extortion and is illegal, Dumpster Fire will simply pocket said $5m & advise whomever to fast track said fool's immigration application.
End result will be more wealth scum who normally would be denied admission
Time share citizenship?
Seems all he’s done is raise the price. Get around 10k issued a year at the current.
Not sure what the new proposal is going to look like but in many European countries they have something similar where the money is paid directly to the government as tax revenue.
Those few checks will go, and the price goes up 500%.
However, I’d be willing to bet the golden visa will emulate what other countries do with these kinds of visas in that the money goes to the treasury.
But as a migrant with money, I do remember the amount of cold approaches I had when I first got here, and those guys were sketchy AF. As sketchy as the NYPD union rep fishing for ‘donations’.
