Donald Trump’s “gold card” visa, where a foreigner can shell out at least $1 million to legally live and work in the U.S., has been approved for one person, said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Thursday — appearing to fall a bit short of an earlier claim.
After it launched in December, Lutnick said that the government had sold $1.3 billion “worth” in just several days, as Trump stood by holding up the gilded ticket and said, “essentially it’s the green card on steroids.”
Lutnick did not address the apparent discrepancy in an exchange with a congresswoman at Thursday’s committee hearing.
Can you imagine the type of creep you’d have to be to want to pay a million space bucks to move to USA right now?
If I were a billionaire looking to become as rich as humanly possible, and I know I can simply bribe the govt to fuck their constituents, I’d absolutely be doing that. So yeah, that kind of creep.
Yeah but you don’t need american citizenship to do that they will sell out to anyone.
You need to run a business in America.
No you don’t.
Hundreds of companies are owned by foreign owners.
I didn’t say businesses werent owned by foreigners…
Can you imagine an IMMIGRANT who’d want to pay a million space bucks to be hunted down by ICE right now?
Not a non-white one, anyway
Is ice going after rich people?
Just someone looking to exploit Americans for more money.
You’d have to pay me a million dollars to move to the US right now…
Actually, no I think the amount would be significantly more than that
Do the Trump maneuver. Say you will do it, collect the 1 million, then don’t move there. Clear profit!
Jesus Christ! I thought it was only a thousand spacebucks…
