If you are an American citizen, you already won the lottery, but now really rich people can pay to win the privilege.
NEW: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he sold 1000 immigration Gold Cards (priced at $5M each) in one day this week.

The development means $5 Billion was made to help pay off the national debt.

Americans who were born here just saved themselves millions!
I don't care how many they "sell." Selling American citizenship like they are timeshare condos is repulsive. https://t.co/JgUwv92me2

Not everyone is a fan of the plan.
Is there any vetting going on, or are we just letting in anyone who can pay admission? https://t.co/IKqOi0b01J

That's a fair question. At least, we know the people who can pay for this won't become dependent on the state and can support themselves.

Oh, they will
Nice! Seems like ending taxes for those that make less than $150k might be possible after all 🙌🙌 https://t.co/8S6DrlNx5F

If it could lower our taxes or end them altogether, this sounds so much more appealing.
Lutnick recently declared Gold Card candidates would be heavily vetted. US visa vetting is normally a lengthy process.

How did so many Visas get fast tracked within a month of announcing the program? https://t.co/tZJ2hQt7Go
Probably can vet them quickly if they really wanted to. Perhaps, these are just the people interested and they are in the process.
so many multi-millionaires. the whole legal system is just for them, everyone else cant afford lawyers, and have no time to find one (its a process i understand), lives locked down in slavery. if you dont make enough money (90% of working people), and getting robbed $500 here… https://t.co/AoFkgTxWTH

While that is true, the working class or poor people would need support from the state if they were allowed in the country. Our country doesn't need more of that. Very rich people not only don't need that, but likely will also create income opportunities.
It's silly that the left opposes this when it simply monetizes an existing legal residency system. They hate it when American actually makes money.

This is the unfortunate side of politics.

People on both sides will oppose a good idea simply because the other side supports it.
Trump will save America for future generations

Let's hope so! The next generation is depending on it.
