Trump was elected to fix immigration. So far he’s delivering.
And Donald Trump revealed a new immigration plan that could change everything.
President Trump just launched the ultimate power move: a gleaming “gold card” that lets loaded foreigners buy permanent residency. This is America selling access to the winners who can actually help the country, not the endless welfare line.
At the White House, Trump spelled it out for the press: the card works “somewhat like a green card,” instantly qualifying buyers for permanent residency and the right to work here.
The price tag for an individual: one million dollars wired straight to the U.S. Treasury. Corporations that want to protect key foreign talent have to cough up two million per head.
That’s cold, hard cash flooding federal coffers instead of another tax hike on American workers.
Homeland Security still runs full background checks on every applicant. No criminals, no terrorists, no free rides. Only the vetted and the wealthy get through the door.
Hold the card for five years and the holder can apply for full citizenship. It’s a clear ladder: invest big, prove loyalty, earn the ultimate prize.
Trump took to Truth Social and lit everything up: “THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT’S TRUMP GOLD CARD IS HERE TODAY! A direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people.”
“SO EXCITING! Our Great American Companies can finally keep their invaluable Talent. Live Site opens in 30 minutes!”
The gold card completely replaces the sluggish EB-5 visa circus that’s been limping along since 1990.
In February, roughly 250,000 applicants were still rotting in the EB-5 backlog.
Congress originally set the EB-5 bar between $800,000 in rural zones and $1 million elsewhere, plus proof of at least ten American jobs created.
Over 25 years, the program managed to issue just 135,518 visas, according to the Invest In the USA trade association.
Trump is hoping the gold card rakes in “hundreds of billions of dollars.” Even Silicon Valley titans like Tim Cook are reportedly thrilled.
Early versions of the plan floated a five-million-dollar price, explicitly designed to generate giant revenue and chip away at the deficit.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick crunched the numbers in February: “There’s a line for EB-5 of 250,000 right now. 200,000 of these gold green cards [at $5 million] is $1 trillion to pay down our debt.”
The national debt has topped $38 trillion. Selling gold cards to the global elite is the kind of brutal, effective solution the swamp never had the guts to try.
This is Trump flipping the script: immigration policy that makes America richer, stronger, and more selective overnight.
The open-borders crowd is melting down, and that alone proves he’s doing it right.
