Technically internal US news, but as it’s really of interest to non-US citizens, leaving it up.
Unrelated, but why is your username green? Red usernames mean admin, but what does green mean?
Green means I’m one of the Moderators here. Some apps even put a little “M” next to it.
Oh, ok.
Yeah really interressing, I was definitively looking for a way to pay 5M to immigrate to the big clown show that is US lmao
Thank you. By definition, immigration has to involve multiple countries, IMO…
He will do this today, and deport them later.
Rinse and repeat for infinite profit.
Great way for his russian buddies to get here for his bday.
They’re all here already. That’s who’s been propping up his real estate since the '90s.
Great way to launder a ton of money while a bunch of key voters randomly appear in swing states too
But what if they’re brown?
They’ll just get deported later. Great deal for the US.
He never cared about immigration. He just cares about business. I bet some cartel leaders could buy these.
can my wife and i sell our residency for $5m each?
As a non-American I don’t think I’d buy US residency even for five dollars. But do come cross the Atlantic!
Wife and I are letting ours go for only $3m
OBO
Capitalism!
I’ll do a swap for free for, if I’m being honest with myself, any country that you can buy a bidet in.
Can’t be India
Don’t swap for free. You should have an auction - the highest bidet wins.
You can get bidets here!
Im only open for trade. You can have it and I’ll take your life in your country.
I’ll do mine for 2.7 and a cat deposit.
As in, they have to give you a cat, or you give them a cat?
They pay the cat deposit on my new place, where ever that may be. I’ll take a cat as well, though.
2.6 and I’ll throw in my cat* for free
*Cat may be idiot with only 4 lives left
No, sorry. It’s a bribe.
I hope everyone always calls ICE on them, whenever someone notices these rich immigrants.
Even if they don’t take them into custody, wasting both their time would be a good start.
Any non-US citizen who has this much discretionary money to spend on Trump’s dumbass card, already has the resources and network to become a US citizen already if they want
How do they do that? Fake company to employ them? Pay off someone to fake marry them?
so let me get this straight, they’re deporting the poor immigrants, but letting the rich ones in? Makes sense /s
Anyone with the money that actually wants this already got it for free, right?
Only the best people…,
People with money are better. Obv
oh the yuge biggie gold card
It is the best card. A lot of people are saying it. Tremendous. Not like the weak Biden card.
There have been other instances of bribery by/of government “officials” during my 70yrs…
But never has the bribery been so openly blatantly in-your-face fuck-you-can’t-do-anything-about-it as is being done by this miserable stunted stupid sorry attempt at a human.
Words alone simply fail to convey my hatred and disgust of these fuckers. Nor of my sorrow and disdain for the depths to which the US had plunged.
🤦♀️ 🤡 🖕 💩
Golden visas aren’t really that extraordinary, many countries have something similar. It’s just a slap in the face to everyone else that has to jump through an increasing amount of hoops just to get a green card to see that you can just skip the line if you’re wealthy enough (which has really always been the case on some level, but not that blatant).
Lots of “dream countries” do this and also have very strict immigration policy and strict assimilation rules
$5mil and you get to be there for the start of a civil war. Bargain!
Not the onion… WTF
My favorite part,
Trump administration officials have suggested that the card will replace the EB-5 immigrant investor visa programme, which grants permanent residency to immigrants who invest at least $1.05m in the US, or $800,000 in designated economically distressed areas.
So since the 90s anyone with $1 million has been able to buy/invest their way in.
This “new gold card” costs $5 million.
So it costs five times as much, it’s just a bribe and not an investment. I’m guessing putting together a business plan costs less than $4 million.
So the obvious question becomes… What type of person is willing to spend $5 million, but not $1 million. (And I’m guessing less oversight.)
$1 from 1990 is worth $2.50 today. So it’s only twice as expensive, not 5 times
Except it’s still $1 million as of today, if I’m reading this right.
Correct, the program started in the early 90s, but the cost today is $1 million.
