    Why would an immigrant want to come here right now? Trump just sent a bunch of people to El Salvador to rot in prison with no due process. A fancy card wouldn’t save them any more than the court order saved Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia.

    LMFAO, if I was rich, I’ll just go to some EU country. Yes I probably get taxed like hell, but still, people are happier which means there’s less resentment towards rich people, which means I’m much less likely to get Luigi’d. Win-Win. And the obvious, no fascism, no falling out of windows.

    (If I was like really rich, I’ll probably donate money on top of the taxes, since I wouldn’t be able to use it all anyways.)

      This is probably why he wants it:

      Unlike American citizens, gold card holders will not have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their overseas income.

      Not sure if that applies to us citizens with gold cards though.

    Question: We have recently seen that the government can and will revoke green cards at will, why would anybody be interested in this knowing that it offers them at best ephemeral protections.

      It’s not about citizenship, it’s about access. They know that it doesn’t guarantee citizenship or protection, that’s what the rest of their money is for.

      Money guarantees that. You know who doesn’t have 5 million bucks? A student studying in USA who might protest against genocide in Gaza. You know who has 5 millions? People like Venesuelan cartel members.

      This is just asinine and reeks of similar level of greed as selling bath water to thirsty horny teenagers. It’s no fucking different. It’s just a gold card with ugly Trump’s face for a lot more money.
