Technically internal US news, but as it’s really of interest to non-US citizens, leaving it up.
Yeah really interressing, I was definitively looking for a way to pay 5M to immigrate to the big clown show that is US lmao
He will do this today, and deport them later.
Rinse and repeat for infinite profit.
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.
can my wife and i sell our residency for $5m each?
Wife and I are letting ours go for only $3m
OBO
Capitalism!
Im only open for trade. You can have it and I’ll take your life in your country.
I’ll do mine for 2.7 and a cat deposit.
2.6 and I’ll throw in my cat* for free
*Cat may be idiot with only 4 lives left
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.
I’ll do a swap for free for, if I’m being honest with myself, any country that you can buy a bidet in.
Can’t be India
As a non-American I don’t think I’d buy US residency even for five dollars. But do come cross the Atlantic!
$1 and a bag of crickets, final offer.
Open to negotiations…
Who has $5m and wants to live in a nascent autocracy? What a shithole country.
Criminals.
People who love oppression and hoarding wealth but hate equality and facing consequences for their crimes
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
Edit: I’m sorry I asked. Humans are garbage
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.
My favorite part,
Trump administration officials have suggested that the card will replace the EB-5 immigrant investor visa programme, which grants permanent residency to immigrants who invest at least $1.05m in the US, or $800,000 in designated economically distressed areas.
So since the 90s anyone with $1 million has been able to buy/invest their way in.
This “new gold card” costs $5 million.
So it costs five times as much, it’s just a bribe and not an investment. I’m guessing putting together a business plan costs less than $4 million.
So the obvious question becomes… What type of person is willing to spend $5 million, but not $1 million. (And I’m guessing less oversight.)
$1 from 1990 is worth $2.50 today. So it’s only twice as expensive, not 5 times
Except it’s still $1 million as of today, if I’m reading this right.
Correct, the program started in the early 90s, but the cost today is $1 million.
This way terrorists can by bypass all the rules etc and get citizenship. Just bribe the Moron-in-chief. Brilliant!
And the grift continues.
That’s all America is now. One big grift. Everyone trying to grift each other for scraps while the prolific grifters grift us all.
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.
🤦♀️ 🤡 🖕 💩
He’ll take the money and imprison you anyways. We have all been seeing exactly how he reacts for multiple decades. Right?
Rich people don’t get imprisoned in the United States shitshow. Lawlessness for the wealthy cutthroat capitalism for the rest of us
Ha Ha Ha, If they paid me 5 million I might consider visiting the USA but only maybe.
so let me get this straight, they’re deporting the poor immigrants, but letting the rich ones in? Makes sense /s
Someone ddos or hack this fucking thing asap, please. Is his password still
maga2024?I ate the onion. Then got very sad when I realized it was real
The onion is really falling behind.
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.
“News” on Lemmy.world is for just US news, because course it is.
Great way for his russian buddies to get here for his bday.
Great way to launder a ton of money while a bunch of key voters randomly appear in swing states too
