“Golden” Years!

President Trump announced Tuesday the administration plans to offer $5 million “gold cards,” which grant individuals permanent U.S. residency.

The big picture: The new system would replace the existing EB-5 program, a system launched in the 1900s to offers green cards to individuals who invested in the U.S., and serve as a route to citizenship, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office.

  • It wasn’t immediately unclear whether the administration could terminate or change the existing program without congressional approval.

Driving the news: “We’re going to be selling a gold card” and that it would bolster the economy,” Trump said, adding that he believes it will bolster the economy.

  • “Wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card, they’ll be wealthy and they’ll be successful, and they’ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people.”
  • The U.S. could sell 1 million or more of the “gold cards,” Trump said.

Between the lines: By potentially eliminating the EB-5 program and replacing it with the so-called “gold card,” the new program would effectively let the wealthy buy their way into the U.S. without having to create jobs or build businesses.

  • In that sense, it differs from many “Golden Visa” programs around the world, which usually at least require the purchase of real estate or some other domestic investment. Some do allow residency by charitable donation, or opening a bank account.

  1. Axios says that the 1900s launched Green card program is about the holder ‘Investing’ in the country? That was when we lived on another planet.
    In my security position at a DOD contractor facility, I encounter green card (permanent resident) holders who can’t speak 4 words of English, or those who’ve become citizens who can’t speak the language required to function in the broader society.
    The article in a roundabout way, implies that the green card holder comes to create jobs or businesses, by stating that the ‘gold card’ holder isn’t expected to. .
    So I’m wondering if this article entirely trustworthy.
