According to reports, President Trump’s proposed “Gold Card” is facing opposition in Congress despite the Trump administration’s claims that they’ve already made billions from the card, which would cost $5 million for U.S. citizenship.
Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick claimed, “Yesterday I sold a thousand,” and that the administration had already made $5 billion from sales of the card. However, the program does not yet appear to exist. Rep. Darrell Issa attempted to codify the Gold Card visa program during budget negotiations in the Judiciary Committee, but conservatives who do not want to expand visa programs rejected the idea.
