US Sells 1,000 'Gold' Immigration Cards in One Day

Sunday, March 23, 2025

Grand goniff and billionaire Howard Lutnick, Trump's Commerce Secretary, announced that he secured $5 billion in a single day by selling 1,000 immigration gold cards, each valued at $5 million. Lutnick said that with a market of 37 million potential buyers, Trump is confident they can generate at least $5 trillion by selling one million of these exclusive cards. I didn't realize there were that many Russian oligarchs who will be buying condos in Trump properties.

How much of the $5B was fraud, waste, and abuse?

In a 2016 settlement with the Justice Department, Howard Lutnick's "Cantor Gaming" admitted to committing a host of crimes, including money laundering and aiding and abetting the operation of an illegal gambling business: corporate-prosecution-registry.com

Is there anyone in Trumpf's cabinet without a nefarious, mendacious, or sordid past?

Between pumping Tesla stock (unethical at best), branding folks who would complain if their Social Security checks didn't show up as fraudsters who are not "Real American" (puhleeze), and now wading into offering entry tickets to potentially dubious characters, Howie really has been whoring himself around of late. My only question is whether he's auditioning for a known role in Old Senescent's tragicomedy or this is just tne sort of self-humiliation that's required to be part of the mad felon's fundamentally pointless game.

This is all SOP for these vulture-oligarchs who want to increase the size of the wealthy in the US while increasing the size of the poor. With the trajectory that Trumpf catapulted the US towards, instead of a pyramid shape of classes in the future, America will have roughly an hourglass shape of two castes. A small middle caste of police officers, technicians, religious leaders, and soldiers will occupy the narrow chokepoint, or interface, between the "haves" at the top and the "have-nots" at the bottom. AI technologies with facial recognition surveillance will make ensure the police state runs efficiently. Opportunities for the masses at the bottom to escape poverty will be nearly impossible or non-existent: webstockreview.net

It's all being deposited into Trump's Panama bank account.

Allowing unfettered asylum immigration was humiliating, made US look stupid the world over.

To make room for each Golden Immigrant and their help, we pledge to black bag ten non-violent Brown Immigrants!

OK, fine.

And selling immigration cards is a cheezy, low-rent, Trump scam that humiliates this country.

And so, therefore, you defend it.

Are you sure you're from here? ICE wants to know.

"Allowing unfettered asylum immigration was humiliating, made US look stupid the world over."

That's such an obvious lie.
There is no polling which supports this.

Trumpf selling off these Gold immigration cards to oligarchs debases the country. Note the Canadians new fighting words are "Elbows Up!" and "Canada is Not For Sale," unlike America with this fire sale to allow who knows what into our country. images.radio-canada.ca

You're letting people just walk into your country.

Is that how you treat your wife, just let people have a go at her.

You could always poll the DNC and ask them how the unfettered asylum immigration worked out for them in the election last Nov.

"unfettered asylum"

"Unfettered"?

What, does Vernon make a dictionary now?!?

#23 | Posted by Danforth at 2025-03-23 08:26 PM

The money should go into the U. S. sovereign investment fund, which could then invested in ventures such as "Truth Social" , Tesla, and to prop up $TRUMP coins. A certain percentage should go to Donald Trump for liscencing his name and imiage.

And these 'gold card' holders will be exempt from having to pay federal taxes on their foreign income, unlike American citizens. This means that they could move here, buy some mansion at one of Trump's golf resorts or a penthouse in one of his buildings, and live the life of an oligarch while enjoying all of the benefits of being an 'American', but without having to pay a single dime toward supporting any of it.

There's so much wrong with this I don't know where to start. Once again, equal treatment under the law doesn't apply to this administration.

I am glad that I am unable to read the comments from the trolls and hacks who must be paid to waste our time on the Drudge Retort, or else why would they be here and not on conservative blogs? $$$$$$

I have questions ...

Who are buying these coins, and how have they been vetted?

But more important, this is A Good Thing ... why?
