So Trump never really had an issue with criminals entering the country; he just wanted to skim a little off the top when they did. bsky.app/profile/atru...

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."

So let me get this, regardless of circumstances, if you have $5kk you can enter illegally? I mean isn’t that what he’s saying, if you have the money, skip the line, come on in regardless. So maybe we should go fund poor people to come over?! Maybe next, w/ $10kk you can shoot someone on Park Ave?

1/ So there it is everyone, no more playing footsies under the table. This is what the Trump presidency was always going to be about. Not the Project 2025 version of the Handmaid’s Tale, not immigration, not even government reform, all nonsense.

2/ It’s a Ponzi scheme, take from the various agencies that pay for our benefits to enrich themselves, and just for good measures, let’s throw in a Gold Card for some foreign oligarchs. “For the affordable price of a few millions, you too can live the American Dream,

3/ with our new America First Gold Card”. It’s a pay to play Government policy, right in the open, for all Americans and the world to see. Hey MAGA, is this what you meant when you say America first.

MAGA never understands the main catalyst that built this once great nation: our immigration system allowing entry & citizenship to those pursuing the American dream from ALL economic classes. This proposal would absolutely extinguish this. MAGA talks greatness, their actions accelerate rot.

EB-5 needs proof you'll be investing in US jobs - 10 permanent, full time jobs - as well as other various requirements. What he's suggesting sounds like a transactional "pay us $5 million, get green card" with no benefit to the US beyond the initial payment, as far as I can tell.

That would take an act of Congress. It's in the Immigration and Nationality Act. Of course, it seems like Congress doesn't matter anymore, so maybe he can just make laws himself.

Whatever happened to …. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”……..It’s over.

So ANOTHER illegal EO since Congress sets the numbers and pathways. Thanks SCOTUS for giving FFOTUS the get out of jail free card for anything he does in office. 🙄😒

It sounds like it’s basically a hyped up Golden Visa, which is offered by many countries, including the US through its EB-5 visa. In exchange for investing in the country one gets a residence permit and after five years a path to citizenship. www.visabusinessplans.com/blog/2025/ja....

Watch how efficiently principles evaporate: from 'build the wall' to 'sell citizenship' in one presidency. Nothing exposes moral bankruptcy quite like discovering immigration isn't a crisis after all just an untapped revenue stream. At least previous grifters didn't monetize their xenophobia.

So he wants to do exactly what he was falsely accusing Dems of doing... Allowing immigrants to skew the vote. I suppose his ultimate goal is to have US citizenship depend on net worth and all middle class and lower social class will be considered "guest workers", indentured servants, or slaves?

They make the citizens poor. People loose their jobs, their homes, their farms, their freedom and their health. The prices for land and houses are falling. And now they are selling these gold cards. Meanwhile Vance owns that app which makes it easy to buy land from outside USA. ROBBERY!

Wrong. My grandparents who came thru Ellis Island could have never afforded that. They came here with dreams and hopes of a new life and didnt have to fear deportation or inhumane treatment but were treatly fairly and were welcomed
