EB-5 And "Gold Cards": Whoring Out Citizenship

It appears that Donald Trump has gone off the deep end of his buying/selling real estate career.

President Donald Trump says he wants to replace the EB-5 visa program that sells green cards to wealthy investors with a higher-cost “gold card” program....

Oh?

...The Gold Card would provide green cards — and the chance for citizenship — at a higher price of $5 million, Trump said, without explaining if the card would be per person or per family.

The price of $5 million is a very low price for U.S. citizenship....

Not that long ago, US citizenship was earned, not purchased.  One cannot "make America great" by selling its crown jewel--citizenship--no matter the price.

Sorry, Donald.  This one sucks.
