Trump’s “Gold Card” Million Dollar Citizenship Scheme EXPOSED

Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian break down Trump's new "Gold Card" immigration program launched on trumpcard.gov. Pay $15,000 non-refundable application fee plus $1 million "gift" to the Treasury for lawful permanent resident status in "record time" with citizenship pathway after five years. Corporate sponsors pay $2 million per employee. The platinum tier costs $5 million for 270 days yearly in the U.S. without paying taxes on foreign income. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick announced 80,000 cards available, potentially generating $8 billion. Trump claims executive authority without Congressional approval, but legal experts say only Congress can create visa categories. Unlike the existing EB-5 program requiring job creation, gold card applicants simply donate money with no employment requirements. The hosts highlight the contrast: while Trump conducts mass deportations and revokes 80,000+ visas, he's selling citizenship to the highest bidder while refugees and students have no fast-track options. Legal scholars warn applicants could lose their $1 million if courts rule the program illegal since it wasn't created through proper Congressional or regulatory processes. Brian and Shant note wealthy Chinese and Indian nationals are primary interested parties, calling this pay-to-play scheme a betrayal of basic immigration principles.
