Donald Trump’s “gold card” visa, where a foreigner can shell out at least $1 million to legally live and work in the U.S., has been approved for one person, said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Thursday — appearing to fall a bit short of an earlier claim.
After it launched in December, Lutnick said that the government had sold $1.3 billion “worth” in just several days, as Trump stood by holding up the gilded ticket and said, “essentially it’s the green card on steroids.”
Lutnick did not address the apparent discrepancy in an exchange with a congresswoman at Thursday’s committee hearing.
Can you imagine the type of creep you’d have to be to want to pay a million space bucks to move to USA right now?
If I were a billionaire looking to become as rich as humanly possible, and I know I can simply bribe the govt to fuck their constituents, I’d absolutely be doing that. So yeah, that kind of creep.
Can you imagine an IMMIGRANT who’d want to pay a million space bucks to be hunted down by ICE right now?
Not a non-white one, anyway
