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…
Unrelated, but why is your username green? Red usernames mean admin, but what does green mean?
Green means I’m one of the Moderators here. Some apps even put a little “M” next to it.
Oh, ok.
He will do this today, and deport them later.
Rinse and repeat for infinite profit.
Yeah really interressing, I was definitively looking for a way to pay 5M to immigrate to the big clown show that is US lmao
Anyone with the money that actually wants this already got it for free, right?
Only the best people…,
People with money are better. Obv
The USA was already not a serious country but this is so pathetic that it wouldn’t make it into a movie script for being too far-fetched.
Someone ddos or hack this fucking thing asap, please. Is his password still

?can my wife and i sell our residency for $5m each?
Wife and I are letting ours go for only $3m
OBO
Capitalism!
I’ll do mine for 2.7 and a cat deposit.
As in, they have to give you a cat, or you give them a cat?
They pay the cat deposit on my new place, where ever that may be. I’ll take a cat as well, though.
2.6 and I’ll throw in my cat* for free
*Cat may be idiot with only 4 lives left
I’ll do a swap for free for, if I’m being honest with myself, any country that you can buy a bidet in.
You can get bidets here!
Can’t be India
Don’t swap for free. You should have an auction - the highest bidet wins.
Im only open for trade. You can have it and I’ll take your life in your country.
As a non-American I don’t think I’d buy US residency even for five dollars. But do come cross the Atlantic!
No, sorry. It’s a bribe.
But what if they’re brown?
They’ll just get deported later. Great deal for the US.
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
Someone said in another thread that you don’t have to invest anymore, just park your money somewhere. I bet trump coins are included in the list of parking destinations.
“somewhere”?
Shit, even the banana republics make you put it in one of their banks.
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.
Collect $5 million, deport, rinse, repeat.
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.
Of course, green cards aren’t worth the paper they are printed on anymore.
So true, and wealth won’t protect you if he doesn’t like you. Look at Elon having to go groveling back to him.
Maybe they’re just getting people to pre pay for their own detention/deportation.
Who has $5m and wants to live in a nascent autocracy? What a shithole country.
Spies from other nations.
Tate bros
Criminals.
We’re gonna get flooded with UAE princes or whatever. We’ll be having those poop parties that the streamers who go over there get caught up in.
Please explain the poop party because that sounds hilarious
It’s not.
Saudi princes and other people with too much money take advantage of young women by inviting them for modeling gigs, then abuse them with literal torture.
It has been alleged that certain faves in the streaming and beauty bits of the internet, go on pilgrimages to the gulf states in the middle east to have certain individuals with more money than hair follicles shit into their bucal cavities.
Autocrats.
People who love oppression and hoarding wealth but hate equality and facing consequences for their crimes
Great way for his russian buddies to get here for his bday.
They’re all here already. That’s who’s been propping up his real estate since the '90s.
Great way to launder a ton of money while a bunch of key voters randomly appear in swing states too
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).
Lots of “dream countries” do this and also have very strict immigration policy and strict assimilation rules
Any non-US citizen who has this much discretionary money to spend on Trump’s dumbass card, already has the resources and network to become a US citizen already if they want
How do they do that? Fake company to employ them? Pay off someone to fake marry them?
$5mil and you get to be there for the start of a civil war. Bargain!
I ate the onion. Then got very sad when I realized it was real
The onion is really falling behind.
Not the onion… WTF
