A New Path to Citizenship

Trump positioned the high-value visa as a magnet for job creators and a potential tool to reduce the national deficit. This initiative comes amidst his administration's focus on immigration reform, including the deportation of undocumented migrants. The Gold Card visa is touted as a coveted route to U.S. citizenship, with Trump ambitiously targeting sales of "maybe a million" cards, even suggesting eligibility for Russian oligarchs.
