  1. Didn’t Trump try to sell green cards during his first term? I seem to remember legislation proposed along these lines, and it never passed even when he had control of both houses of Congress. Just seems like another grift by the grifter in chief.

  2. Yep, that $5 million will pay for 2.5 minutes of interest on the national debt, leaving only 52,597.5 minutes of debt to cover. That will take a lot of visas at $5 million each and does not solve the issue of how to become a citizen affordably and legally.

    1. very, very few other countries do this in this manner. And, we don’t necessarily want to parrot bad ideas. Y’all keep hollering about folks getting something they’re not supposed to get. OK, how about we just stop that activity? Instead of ravaging the entire immigration system with a stupid idea.

  3. Because they will likely be “on the government dole.” But this will be government welfare for tax credits and grants and such for their business ideas, which they’ll start, maybe succeed, and if the latter, sell out and head back home with their profits.

    1. I think this is spot on, Timothy. This is clearly another grift to make it easy for the ultra-rich to get ahead and hoard more wealth while the rest of us scratch and claw and argue with each other for the scraps.

  4. If Trump announced a cure for cancer I swear you people would complain about that. Many countries in Europe do something similar to this but don’t require that much of an investment sometimes as little as $250,000. Countries in the Caribbean do it also.
