Gold card is not an America first agenda IMO.

How many "billionaires" would opt to pay $5m to be a US citizen? A few thousand at most. Say 5,000.

So that is 5,000 x $5m or $25b in revenue. Nothing to sneeze at.

The "wealth disparity" is not a thing. Billionaires and "normal citizens" don't mix. I don't see a problem.

Oh, I think that number is far higher.

1 billionaire is influencing our entire country right now....

Are you saying, what more can 1000 additional billionaires do to us?

What more can 1000 more billionaires and foreign billionaires do to have influence on our govt ....supposedly of the people, by the people, for the people, do?

I think that's quite foolish on your part, and intentional blind eye-ness.

None of them, but I imagine that they're could be converts among those who came across regardless of their status in regards to their wealth.

Why the conflation about the illegal immigration that no one is for, and between this program that the Trump team is floating around the room about selling a gold green card to the highest foreign bidder ? Isn't this a card or program being created for wealthy foriegners whom his commerce team wants to come into this country with even bigger bucks beyond the five mil. in hopes to spur all kinds of job creation and economic stimulus in America, and this because Americans just can't do it any longer on their own, otherwise after these wealthy foreigners arrive on the scene with their Gold Card now firmly in their hand we will be saved ?

The program that trump is proposing has already existed fir 50 years in a slightly different form and is practiced in other western nations besides the US

Actually less than they can now using dark money from the safety of a foreign country

The democrats have been getting caught since the clinton years raking in millions of dollars in illegal campaign money from countries like china

 

[kyzr]

Billionaires and normal citizen's don't mix ? What does this mean brother Kyzr ? If true, then how are we mixing in with Trump ?

My previous reply was about the "wealth disparity" getting larger if we sold citizenships.
I never spoke with a billionaire, I'm not jealous of them, even if they inherited their wealth, Paris Hilton as an example.
Democrats want to impose a "wealth tax" on billionaires to reduce the "wealth gap". Commies do what commies do.

How are we mixing in with Trump or Elon Musk? We aren't mixing, Trump and Elon are trying to stop the US from going bankrupt after democrats threw money off helicopters creating inflation. I believe DOGE is fantastic, especially if it cuts "waste, fraud, and abuse", even if it is run by billionaires.

No they have not used foreign money or help from foreign countries since Clinton, and passed laws to make foreign campaign donations illegal for the past 25 plus years.

Your god, just dropped that law, allowing for foreign influence in our elections....

Why did your god, do that?

There are about 750 American billionaires here in the US.
No disrespect, but democrats did a horrible job running the country.
At least billionaires would want to grow the economy instead of ruining it.
Mike Bloomberg ran for the DNC nomination and got bounced, money is no guarantee of success.
If Soros Jr. ran for office would you vote for him?

Thinking that Americans aren't suitable to own and run companies for American's, otherwise in which seems to be the inference in this gold card deal or idea being touted, (IMO), is not an acceptable way of thinking when it comes to the American first agenda.

Having the idea that foreigners can come in this country if they purchase a 5 million dollar green card, and this in order to spur business, and to create job's for Americans etc, is not an America first agenda IMHO.

Why ???
People coming here from other countries, and then being given special treatment or deals after they do some kind of business deal with our government, and yet without Americans having a say (vote) in this type of thing or activity should be unacceptable to most Americans.

We as American citizen's have experienced a wide range of abuses under foreigners either as individuals or owners of companies operating in this country. This is because of them not having a loyalty or belief system that is assimilated or has some sort of an idea on how to be an empathetic compassionate, fair minded, and yet well balanced business owner that has been exposed to the American value system in ways that working Americans can then agree to having such a person or person's to operate as their boss.

I'm skeptical all due to the owner's not having the same ideology, beliefs, standards, and values that Americans hold dear here, and this is usually where the abuses go under the radar when American workers are worked by foreigners without some sort of civil guarantees or check system that ensures compliance.

Take the call center's being used off shore for example, otherwise that have been used by our business owner's, and think about how much trouble and disrespect we as Americans have had dealing with that situation (if not but just having a super hard time understanding them).

I know people who work for foreign business owners here in America, and the stories they tell are not good one's.

What say you all ?

I'm sure there are some good one's in many cases, but flooding this nation with foreign money and business owner's for whom Americans would have to rely on or go too for their livelihoods, ummm sounds about as bad as the open borders that took place under Biden along with the abuses Americans were experiencing with that situation. Money just makes it a cleaner abuse.

Summary:
We shouldn't be flooding our country with people who don't share our beliefs, our values, and our standards or traditions, especially as business owners that Americans end up relying on.

Like Trump said - If we don't have a border we don't have a country.

Now put your word's where your heart is Trump, and stop looking at everything as a business DEAL when you are talking about an American first agenda...

Don't get distracted Trump, and focus on America first.

This is not a dig at Trump, because I believe this Idea is being pushed by one of his cabinet officials.

Americans don't want hand outs, and we don't want to be showered with gifts to the point of becoming dependent, and we sure as hell don't want a country flooded with wealthy foreigners that end up controlling the means of our prosperity as Americans.

Biden let in what, 15 million illegals?

If they had paid $5M each, that would be 75 Trillion dollars, enough to pay off our national debt twice.

So there is that aspect to it.

Regards,
Jim

1000 billionaires are more beneficial than 20 million migrants standing in line outside the welfare office

Not always, but usually, yeah.

 

[Clipper]

Let's hope this isn't what it seems in regards to your analysis on it, but in regards to your Russian oligarchs position you are just spouting a Russia, Russia, Russia narrative because I think that his or the commerce secretaries idea for this, is that any wealthy foreigner should come and participate in this, otherwise if they can afford it...Am I wrong ?

What does America look like or become if the American's first agenda, is being replaced by an anyone with 5 mil + in their pocket, and after that giving them a bought and paid for access to a severely beat down American labor force, that is thought to be eager just to have a job if only paid penny's on the dollar now ??? Next the Americans will have to learn and understand what these foreigners are like, what their demands are, and what they believe as a foreigner who is surprisingly now working them ?


I'll keep saying it - why does this country hate it's own citizen's ?

The last thing this country needs is Russian oligarchs or anyone else for that matter, buyng influence with $5 million "gold cards", because that's exactly what's going to happen.

Trump is already owned by Russian mobsters, including Putin.

Sorry, bud. That's fantasy. The orange bag O' shit is a purely transactional human being. If you voted for this, then this is what you got.

 

[sartre play]

YES we need to do a lot of work on immigration.
That is not the subject of the discussion.
A few years ago watched a doc on a company from China, that was allowed to buy a company here.
run by all American workers.
slowly 1st they got rid of the union.
then Slowly they got rid of ALL the American crew.
then brought in Chinese laborers.
China PLAYS THE LONG GAME. We need to be careful about selling off to much of America.
To the high bidders.

I don't agree with your assessment of Trump due to his billionaire status, but your points beyond that makes sense.

The billionaire I was speaking about was the unelected Muskrat, who donated $250 plus million to get Trump elected, plus free millions in Twitter exposure, to help trump win....who now holds the DOGE chainsaw haphazardly cutting essentials of our American system and safety and security of our country....just so they can keep the temp tax cuts for the wealthiest in the nation costing $4.5 trillion over a ten year budget....

No, it's so the country doesn't collapse under trillions in debt, which IS the goal of the political class/globalists.
