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
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.
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…
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
This way terrorists can by bypass all the rules etc and get citizenship. Just bribe the Moron-in-chief. Brilliant!
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.
Don’t swap for free. You should have an auction - the highest bidet wins.
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…
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.
Ha Ha Ha, If they paid me 5 million I might consider visiting the USA but only maybe.
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 ai’m reading this right.
Correct, the program started in the early 90s, but the cost today is $1 million.
Who has $5m and wants to live in a nascent autocracy? What a shithole country.
Criminals.
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.
It has been alleged that certain faves in the streaming and beauty bits of the internet, go on pilgrimages to the gulf states in the middle east to have certain individuals with more money than hair follicles shit into their bucal cavities, in exchange for shiny bits of metal and agitated electrons that grants them financial umbrage enough for them to show off to their fawning acolytes and disciples on the internet and return again for more bucal decorations.
People who love oppression and hoarding wealth but hate equality and facing consequences for their crimes
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.
🤦♀️ 🤡 🖕 💩
Golden visas aren’t really that extraordinary, many countries have something similar. It’s just a slap in the face to everyone else that has to jump through an increasing amount of hoops just to get a green card to see that you can just skip the line if you’re wealthy enough (which has really always been the case on some level, but not that blatant).
“News” on Lemmy.world is for just US news, because course it is.
I hope everyone always calls ICE on them, whenever someone notices these rich immigrants.
Even if they don’t take them into custody, wasting both their time would be a good start.
so let me get this straight, they’re deporting the poor immigrants, but letting the rich ones in? Makes sense /s
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.
I ate the onion. Then got very sad when I realized it was real
The onion is really falling behind.
Someone ddos or hack this fucking thing asap, please. Is his password still
maga2024?
