‘Gold Cards’ for Sale? U.S. Unveils $5M Citizenship Pathway
The White House has sparked global debate with a new proposal allowing wealthy foreigners to buy a fast-tracked U.S. citizenship for $5 million. Dubbed ‘gold cards,’ the initiative is framed by President Trump as a way to attract ‘high-value contributors’ to America’s economy. 🏙️
What’s the Deal?
While details remain scarce, officials say the program would prioritize investors and entrepreneurs. Critics argue it risks commodifying citizenship, while supporters claim it could boost innovation and job creation. 💼
Global Reactions
The plan has already drawn mixed responses, with some calling it a ‘VIP lane for the ultra-rich’ and others praising its focus on economic growth. Formal rollout is expected in the coming weeks. ⏳
How this impacts global immigration norms—and whether it reshapes America’s demographic landscape—remains to be seen. 🌐
