    That’s the risk you run when you are publicly deporting people that already have proper immigration paperwork. Why the fuck would anyone spend that kind of money with no guarantee that they won’t just get randomly picked up and shipped off to South America?

    Friendly reminder that you could get a rich persons visa since 1990s

    EB-5 visas are for people who invest a million dollars and create at least 10 jobs in America

    Trump is just a caricature of what’s always been allowed

    You mean the century+ of open anti-Chinese hostility might be deterring people with comfortable means from moving to a country in active economic decline underneath its AI bubble? I’m shocked.

      Not to mention that ICE just might say “your visa card is fake” and ship you to fucking South Sudan inside of a day.

    …even as demand for US immigration persists and the price of Trump’s gold card has dropped from US$5 million to US$1 million.

    Can we short the gold card until its price is $100?

    The wealthy don’t need this card. They just hire a lawyer who knows embassy staff by first name and that’s that.
