Trump’s Gold-Green Card, Don’t Leave Home Without It
Despite what the radical left politicians, corporate leaders, and their hypnotized lemmings believe, Donald Trump is not a good president. He is a Great president who has only the best for America in his sights. One of his strongest traits is that he is unafraid—unafraid to think outside the box in negotiations on every front, unafraid to protect American values, and unafraid to try new things and new approaches.
Recently, Trump proposed a new type of green card: a gold card that will be sold to immigrants for $5 million. At first, the idea may sound strange, but then again, it isn’t. Many countries around the world offer citizenship by investment programs, including several in Europe, such as Portugal, which provides “golden visas” or permanent residency for foreigners who invest €500,000 ($524,000) in a qualifying fund.
According to Trump, the Gold Card is a premium version of a Green Card and will provide immigrants with a pathway to citizenship. An optimistic projection is that approximately a million people will buy it. Should that occur, the total revenue would be $5 trillion per year.
“We’re gonna be selling a gold card. You have a green card; this is a gold card.”
“We’re gonna be putting a price on that card of about $5 million and that’s gonna give you green card privileges plus…”
“It’s gonna be a route to citizenship. And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.”
“They’ll be wealthy, and they’ll be successful, and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people.”
“The people that can pay $5m, they’re going to create jobs,” Trump said. “It’s going to sell like crazy. It’s a bargain.”
The Gold Card program is set to replace the EB-5 program. Recipients of the Gold Card will go through a vetting process. Instead of depending on green card lotteries, the program aims to reduce the deficit by allowing individuals to invest their way into the country. This approach is designed to attract capital, job creators, and high-level talent. Companies seeking to invest in top-tier global talent will be encouraged to participate in this initiative.
Individuals will not be subject to tax on income earned outside of the United States, while they will be required to pay full taxes on income generated within the United States. This approach is in compliance with existing laws and does not require Congressional approval, as it pertains to a green card rather than full citizenship.
Trump stated that the initiative had received approval from administration lawyers and would launch in approximately “two weeks.”
While Biden left our borders wide open and spent 577 days on vacation, Trump is working on unique and innovative ways to rid our country of some of the dregs he allowed in while luring some of the best into our country and helping with our national debt at the same time.
