    Yes there is. Two guys can rake in $100 an hour each.

      Is there any country on this earth that does not prefer wealthy immigrants to poor ones?

      Probably not, maybe the inscription on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty is just for show.

      In any event, we should probably start thinking about offering "Titanium Cards" ($10 Million a pop?), "Diamond Cards" ($20 Million a pop?), "Special Edition Deca-Titanium Cards" ($100 Million a pop?), the "Ultra Luxury Platinum Cards" ($1 Billion a pop?), the "Ultimate Adamantium Cards" ($10 Billion a pop?), the "Unlimited Supreme Vibranium Cards" ($100 Billion a pop?), etc. Each card may get a Presidential Autopen Signature add-on for a 50% surcharge on top of the base price, or an Original Presidential Handdrawn Signature add-on for a 200% surcharge on top of the base price.

      See, I knew putting a flat screen display at the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty is a great idea -- now it can display the whole menu of options and add-ons.

        And yet Ax would be the first among us to state that the Constitution as it was written does not apply to today because well, today is DIFFERENT.

          When did the law get passed in implemented? Real question?

          Also, why buy a gold visa when you can get US permanent residency through an EB5? an eb5 lets you invest 800k dollars into a business in exchange for a green card.

          Why would someone chose a gold visa over that?

            Headlines I guess?

            Nutlick also said in that interview if they stopped social security payments no one would complain except fraudsters. He’s a sycophantic idiot that likes to regurgitate Musk.

              Not aware of any legal justification for the Gold Card being articulated by the administration.

              Simply wiring $5 million into a designated government account vs. setting up a business and adhering to follow-up reporting requirements -- which one is easier, simpler, faster, more predictable?

                I believe the burden of legal justification would be on those who would claim it is illegal. There is no current law on the books stating "whatever Trump does is illegal", though my god-empress AOC is currently drafting such legislation.

                  Sure, but you get to keep your money with one and give it away in the other.

                    I'm pretty sure if you can afford the $5M without sweating it you'd be a pretty welcome immigrant.

                      What’s the point though, is my question, when the eb5 exists and you get to keep your money with it?

                      I’m asking from the immigrant’s perspective.

                        That's what I meant. I doubt the gold card would make you more desirable. Not sure what red tape it cuts.

                          That was my question. There was already a process to get a permanent resident that also included creating jobs.

                          The new gold car does not mean there will be any jobs created. No need to do so.

                              Seems like a tiny market of people willing to give away $5m vs setting up even a crappy business with an administrator that would easily pass the $800k threshold.

                              I’m not saying you’re wrong… but someone would have to be in a pretty hurried, specific position for that. Or $5m for them is absolute chump change.

                                I would think the latter.

                                  Way easier and maybe in the long run cheaper than the 800k investment visa.

                                      But you can get a Nauru passport for only USD$100K!!! LOL

                                      https://www.thetimes.com/world/australasia/article/nauru-sells-passports-for-100k-which-give-visa-free-entry-to-uk-m6vxvkmxv

                                      In 2025, the island country of Nauru, located in the South Pacific between the Solomon Islands and Marshall Islands, launched its new passport scheme, allowing people to purchase citizenship through investment. It's the destination's way of raising as much cash as possible to move many of its 12,000 citizens to higher ground as the coastal areas of the eight-square-mile island are getting ravaged by erosion due to climate change. Additionally, large swaths that were once used to mine phosphate deposits (an ingredient in fertilizer) have both dried up and made some 80 percent of the land uninhabitable

                                          I suppose I don't really care why they do it. $5B is $5B.

                                          I don’t know if there actually is that much demand for it. There is no gold visa that exists right now. Congress needs to pass it first. Lutnick just talking shit.

                                          Is a new style of visa something that congress needs to pass?

                                          Education is extremely important.
