Orange "Gold Card"

...functions like Green Card, but without the waiting and hoops to jump through, like my wife and I had to do.
Motherlover. So, if you're uber-wealthy, you can BUY your way in. Shit. Caribbean and Pacific Island countries are selling citizenships directly, but for a lot less. They want to ameliorate climate change, rising sea level and diversify their economies. For the USA to do this is stoopid and absurd. Welcome to the OLIGARCHY. (Then they can start up companies that pay zero tax, like uncle Elon The Pathetic.)

Trump added it is possible Russian oligarchs could qualify for the gold cards, when asked by a journalist if those people would be eligible. "Yeah, possibly. Hey. I know some Russian oligarchs that are very nice people," he said.

    Almost, but younger super rich Protestant women are OK if they are pretty and fertile enough.

    Supposed to replace EB-5 visa. Allegedly a faster-track to citizenship. How nice it will be to have the lovely and splendid Russian oligarchs in our midst. Nothing to see here. What could go wrong? ORK..... The reason they're oligarchs is that they are connected to the Russian Mafia Don, named Putin. Duh.
