  • They’re not paying the government $5 million.

    In order to be eligible for this (and the EB-5) you have to make an investment in the US.

    The EB-5 program requires you create jobs, so typically you’ll see a wealthy foreign family buy and operate a small established business with a staff. However, this requires that the visa holder is capable of actually operating a business.

    The “Trump Card” raises the investment amount to $5 million but drops the employee requirement. That way, if you’re really rich, you can just deposit $5 million into some Wall Street fund and get a US Visa. This isn’t about Trump trying to earn money, it’s him “fixing” a program that bothers his class of people around the world.

    The EB-5 program was created to stimulate local jobs and create jobs around the country. Trump’s program doesn’t care about creating jobs or investments in local communities, its just a Fast Pass for the US theme park.
