11,000 immigrants have been deported in the last month, in Trump’s first three weeks as president, ICE arrested 14,000 legal and illegal immigrants. The amount of 667 per day. Trump is holding 10 percent more detainees than when Biden was in office. To the immigrant families who have come across to the US are being targeted until deported, children who are released without a parent or guardian will not have a court date to reunite with family. They claim they are performing this mass deportation for criminals, so why are innocent people suffering the consequence? While many suffer, Trump offers his solution to the problem, the “Gold Card,” a way for the wealthy to buy their way into America.
What is the gold card?
The gold card has been sold since February 25, 2025 from President Trump to foreign-born immigrants for a route to citizenship and the ability to live in the US. In an exchange for $5 million. This will provide a valid visa, permission to work in the US and the capability to be legal, which can benefit when it comes to traveling. Immigrants who buy the “Gold Card” can travel out of the U.S without any resistance.
Who is eligible for the offer of gold cards?
The main qualification to claim a gold card is paying $5 million, which is mostly qualified by wealthy foreign’s. Trump said from the oval office, “You have a green card. This is a gold card, we’re going to be putting a price on that card for $5 million and that’s going to give you green card privileges, plus it’s going to be a route to citizenship. And wealthy people will be coming into our country by buying this card.”
Will the gold card end the EB-5 visa?
Well known EB-5 also known as the green card, Trump’s administration believes the EB-5 program will be replaced with the newly introduced “gold card” within two weeks. The EB-5 program was created by the U.S economy to great jobs, capital investments by foreign investors who had had 10 prior authorization practicing line of jobs. “ The EB-5 program… It was full of nonsense, make-believe and fraud, and it was a way to get a green card that was at a low price. So the president said, rather than having this sort of ridiculous EB-5 program, we’re going to end the EB-5 program” said Howard Lutnick.
