President Donald Trump said Tuesday that he plans to offer a 바카라 게임 웹사이트gold card바카라 게임 웹사이트 visa with a path to citizenship for $5 million, replacing a 35-year-old visa for investors.
"They바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be wealthy and they바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be successful, and they바카라 게임 웹사이트ll be spending a lot of money and paying a lot of taxes and employing a lot of people, and we think it바카라 게임 웹사이트s going to be extremely successful,바카라 게임 웹사이트 Trump said in the Oval Office.
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the 바카라 게임 웹사이트Trump Gold Card바카라 게임 웹사이트 would replace EB-5 visas in two weeks. EB-5s were created by Congress in 1990 to generate foreign investment and are available to people who spend about $1 million on a company that employs at least 10 people.
Lutnick said the gold card 바카라 게임 웹사이트 actually a green card, or permanent legal residency 바카라 게임 웹사이트 would raise the price of admission for investors and do away with fraud and 바카라 게임 웹사이트nonsense바카라 게임 웹사이트 that he said characterize the EB-5 program. Like other green cards, it would include a path to citizenship.
About 8,000 people obtained investor visas in the 12-month period ending Sept. 30, 2022, according to the Homeland Security Department's most recent Yearbook of Immigration Statistics. The Congressional Research Service reported in 2021 that EB-5 visas pose risks of fraud, including verification that funds were obtained legally.
Investors바카라 게임 웹사이트 visas are common around the world. Henley & Partners, an advisory firm, says more than 100 countries around the world offer 바카라 게임 웹사이트golden visas바카라 게임 웹사이트 to wealthy individuals, including the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, Greece, Malta, Australia, Canada and Italy.
Trump made no mention of the requirements for job creation. And, while the number of EB-5 visas is capped, Trump mused that the federal government could sell 10 million 바카라 게임 웹사이트gold cards바카라 게임 웹사이트 to reduce the deficit. He said it 바카라 게임 웹사이트could be great, maybe it will be fantastic.바카라 게임 웹사이트
바카라 게임 웹사이트It바카라 게임 웹사이트s somewhat like a green card, but at a higher level of sophistication, it바카라 게임 웹사이트s a road to citizenship for people, and essentially people of wealth or people of great talent, where people of wealth pay for those people of talent to get in, meaning companies will pay for people to get in and to have long, long term status in the country,바카라 게임 웹사이트 he said.
Congress determines qualifications for citizenship, but Trump said 바카라 게임 웹사이트gold cards바카라 게임 웹사이트 would not require congressional approval.
