Trump wants to sell 10,000,000 of these things. The white collar workforce in the US is 22 million. Are we going to increase the workforce by 45%


There are currently 250,000 in line already to pay the 5 million.
That is 1 trillion $. Guaranteed already.
You are wrong.

I just talked to a Saskatuwan truck driver about this for a long time. He runs back and forth between CA and US.

He wants to be a US citizen so bad he cannot stand it. Sick of Canada and Gov Trudeau..

He can get a card here now by starting a 50k investment business but cannot get his CDL here by doing that . Had a buddy that moved to Texas but could not get CDL so he startd a polot car business.

It’ll just encourage people from India and China to import an entire work force from their countries to work a business in the US. It’ll be passed along to infinity And the U.S. will just turn into a China/India hybrid country.



Are you aware that this golden green already exists and it currently cost $1 million?

Can you provide a link to you melting like a bitch over this issue prior to today?

Trump Gold Card. Lol. If they have that kind of money and they want to come here, they are probably already here.

What about my statement is wrong? Do you have a reading comprehension deficit?

Trump said a staggering stat last night

If 1 million people do this (like he is planning) it will be $5 TRILLION of passive income for the government

So, let me get this straight. It's ok to allow 20-30 MILLION 3rd world non educated people here for free but it is a dumb decision to allow business millionaires over here who will open new businesses, manufacturing, restaurants, etc etc etc creating jobs while paying $5 trillion toward the debt.

Man, some of you people are dumb as frick.

Anything different is stupid to people who have run out of ideas.

So as long as they pay it's okay for them to take jobs away from Americans? Cool. Like I said before, Trump says the people coming over will be highly skilled so I am assuming white collar workers. Our white collar labor force is currently 22 million. If he brings over 10 million workers, I would love to see how we are going to increase the white collar labor force by 45%?

If someone is willing to spend 5 million or a chance of getting citizenship and then spend 5 million more per person including families the I’m guessing they would have an incredible ability to change the world. This would be exactly the kind of person America would want

Let me also get this straight... A person from a different country is going to dig through their couch, look under their bed and break open their piggy bank looking for $5 MILLION dollars to come over here to work for a $30/hour job?

Someone is going to pay $5 MILLION to come here to work at a car wash?

Someone is going to be able to come up with $5 MILLION in cash to move here to be a bartender or a waiter?

So you mean to tell me that someone from Iraq is going to be able to whip up $5 MILLION to move here to get a job at a manufacturing factory?

That's not what is happening at all. A company like Apple will spend the money and buy the gold card. Then will import labor. McDonald's isn't going to do it for a fry cook. It's going to take away white collar jobs from Americans.

Economically, I am not sure it makes sense. Say Meta hires an Indian data scientist for a 7 year contract for 50,000 with 5% raises. Say a US worker would make a 150,000. A 100,000 savings doesn't make up that 5,000,000 over a reasonable period. Unless I am completely misunderstanding this, it's one gold card per person. No white collar worker is and certainly no blue collar worker is worth 5,000,000 unless it becomes indentured servitude over a 30 year period.

Peter Schiff said it best: you can pay off the debt with this or allow Americans to sell their citizenship.

This is such a dumb statement. You think someone paying 5 million to get here is going to be a white collar W-2 employee? Good lord you are stupid.
