Time to break the bank... lol

I think it's a great idea! Obviously not something that we would do but hopefully this is only the start of a new wave of immigration bills and talks coming soon!

MAGA base won't be happy

Imagine crazy rich asian types coming in fresh and buying up all the properties

Trump just killed his base.

BoL can afford it. After all, she is the wealthiest member of this forum per her own multiple declarations.

gotta break the piggy bank

so just raised the cost of the investor visa. big brain moves.

Lolz they were too ignorant to realize that Trump was always for the billionaires. He has the richest cabinet of any President, the most billionaires and the richest man in the world Musk is the real President. They are dismantling and trying to get rid all sorts of federal funding for poor people so the rich can get tax cuts. They are trying to do the largest cuts ever to Medicaid. So much for draining the swamp, they are the swamp.

So EB-5 but worse? No wonder this dude managed to bankrupt two casinos.

The way to sell this to undocumented people is to let them adjust their status if they can come up with $5 million. I don't think you can adjust your status without legal presence with EB-5 .

If they do that, then I'll start playing the lottery!

I wish they'd just do something like $50,000 regularization fee where you apply for status, have no criminal record, pay back taxes if any, learn English, and get a gc in 10-20 depending on how long your backlog would've been so long as you've been in the country since 2005. Then once the border is secured shift it to a rolling year.

And those $50,000 could go for border security and job training for citizens.

It'd be a win win for everyone, but this is the states. They are allergic to simple straitforward fixes and are racist to a self-injurious degree. So it needs to include an arbitrary and callous provision. Maybe every 6th applicant has to climb everest and grow a large pumpkin and have a labor certification and a masters degree lmao.

Oh and it's capped at 30,000 only per year and if any aren't used then they are wasted.

Maybe just auction off the family based cards every year and use the excess funds to modernize uscis so they stop being a slow overpaperworked agency.
