    Technically internal US news, but as it’s really of interest to non-US citizens, leaving it up.

      Thank you. By definition, immigration has to involve multiple countries, IMO…

    Like the article says, it’s probably just a replacement for EB-5 visas, which many countries have.

    Fuckin’ inflation on that bitch though, went from just over a mil in investment to a straight up $5m fee. Where does the fee go? No one knooooowwwwwwsssssss

          The dude that spoke to me, I think was wrong. Here is what USA Today says (I know):

          President Donald Trump’s long-touted “gold card,” which offers foreigners a path to U.S. citizenship after paying $5 million to the government, is open for business.

          But even if you have the money, there’s a waitlist at trumpcard.gov. And read the fine print carefully: Your $5 million doesn’t buy you immediate citizenship.

          Trump has said that he is not seeking approval from Congress as he is not providing gold card buyers with citizenship - only a path to citizenship. The path to citizenship requirements for card buyers are unclear and White House officials have said more details will be provided soon.

            Yeah, I bet it’s going to be a fee. A “tariff” on getting your ass in the country. At least with the investment scheme you have skin in the game, you’d like to see that 1m grow into 2m. If you just pay 5m and then fuckoff you don’t get anything back but a green card (?). Of course, green cards aren’t worth the paper they are printed on anymore.

    There have been other instances of bribery by/of government “officials” during my 70yrs…

    But never has the bribery been so openly blatantly in-your-face fuck-you-can’t-do-anything-about-it as is being done by this miserable stunted stupid sorry attempt at a human.

    Words alone simply fail to convey my hatred and disgust of these fuckers. Nor of my sorrow and disdain for the depths to which the US had plunged.

      Golden visas aren’t really that extraordinary, many countries have something similar. It’s just a slap in the face to everyone else that has to jump through an increasing amount of hoops just to get a green card to see that you can just skip the line if you’re wealthy enough (which has really always been the case on some level, but not that blatant).

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
