Explain to me

How this is legal?

https://trumpcard.gov/

The Dept of Commerce has nothing to do with the issuing of green cards.

Also, if the government were to do this, it is essentially accepting a bride for access, or "Pay to Play".

This completely circumvents all immigration laws.

So how is this legal?

The answer: It isn't. As with almost everything done so far since 20th January, it was technically illegal, yet there was no mechanism in place to avert it. Partially, this is because of never even imagining a presidential administration would do said act. The only line of defense is the judiciary, and their powers are being tested constantly.

In a warped Trumpian universe, it's connected, because Cheeto Benito tasked the Dept of Commerce with keeping track of the "citizenship for $s" program's impact on erasing the US national debt.

And why does that count? Because the Trumpians are already showing that they're erasing the national debt. Similar to the numbers showing that the treasury is filling up due to tariffs.

Mind you that none of this happened, and it's all pie in the sky projections, based on amateurish and flawed calculations, using a fictional system dynamic. More like ignoring system dynamics/game theory altogether.

From what the Trump Card is looking to be it is actually one of the least unusual things he has done. It is basically just a so called "golden visa" program with his face all over it.

Several European countries have such programs and even Canada does.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Are you comfortable with him selling America to the highest bidders, knowing that these people will contribute nearly nothing to the economy, resources, labor, or community?

I'm not. We need fewer rich people here to exploit us.

@FoxyQueen Honestly it is more likely to just be another con. At most all this does is get a path to citizenship, it doesn't guarantee anything.

They are totally within the framework of this to say "thanks for your 5 million now get bent." So they aren't really getting much for their money to be honest especially with a bad actor running the thing.

He also had a dinner where he claimed he would give access to the POTUS for his highest tier Crypto clowns and that was a scam.

That being said offering a path to citizenship for people who drop serious money into the country is a very common practice. We can have a discussion on whether it is a good idea but it is a common practice in the capitalist first world and a few tax haven countries too.

Alot of this is the direct result of tax breaks and low top tier taxes on the wealthy. They need to get that money through other mechanism.

I am not a fan of this practice. Just pointing out that this is business as usual in several countries.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow No worries. I get what you are saying. I agree. There is nothing that he has done that hasn't been some money grabbing scam. I don't know how people still fall for it.

Since I don't stan for capitalism, I think we also are in agreement on it being the major influence here.
