周四,唐纳德·特朗普总统公布了白宫希望向移民出售的第一张“金卡”签证,以减少国家债务。 在空军一号上与记者互动时,总统挥舞着印有他肖像的所谓“特朗普卡”,并表示签证“可能在不到两周内就会发放”。他告诉媒体,“只要 500 万美元,就可以使用。这是第一张卡。你知道那是什么卡,就是金卡,特朗普卡。” 当被问及第一个买家是谁时,特朗普说:“我。……我是第一个买家。” 他问道,“很令人兴奋,对吧?有人想买吗?”金卡提案修改了政府的 EB-5 移民签证计划,将以 500 万美元的价格出售给外国人,为他们提供工作许可并为他们提供获得公民身份的途径。 特朗普政府宣称该提案是减少高达 36 万亿美元联邦债务的途径。商务部长霍华德·卢特尼克在二月份的内阁会议上表示,特朗普的想法只要发行 20 万张金卡就能筹集 1 万亿美元。 总统认为发行金卡可以为苹果等公司留住或吸引顶尖人才提供一种方式。任何公司或个人都可以代表想要进入美国的人购买这些卡,然后雇用这些人。特朗普说,“例如,我接到一些公司的电话,他们想聘请学校的顶尖学生。这些人来自印度、中国、日本等许多不同的地方。他们上的是哈佛大学、沃顿商学院和耶鲁大学。 他们提供了工作机会,但工作机会马上就被取消了,因为你不知道这个人是否能留在这个国家。我希望这个人能留在这个国家。这些公司可以去买一张金卡,然后用它来招聘。”
President Donald Trump revealed the first “gold card” visa that the White House hopes to sell to immigrants to reduce the national debt on Thursday.
As he interacted with reporters aboard Air Force One, the president waved what he called the “Trump card,” which was emblazoned with his image, saying that the visa would “be out in less than two weeks, probably.”
“For $5 million, this could be used. It was the first of the cards,” he told the media. “You know what that card is, it’s the gold card, the Trump card.”
When asked who the first buyer was, Trump said, “Me. … I’m the first buyer.”
“Pretty exciting, right? Anybody want to buy one?” he asked.
The gold card proposal modifies the government’s EB-5 immigrant visa program and would be sold to foreigners for $5 million, affording them work privileges and giving them a path to citizenship.
The Trump administration has touted the proposal as an avenue to reduce the federal debt, which sits at a whopping $36 trillion. Trump’s idea could raise $1 trillion if just 200,000 gold cards are issued, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said during a Cabinet meeting in February.
The president believes creating gold cards could provide a way for companies such as Apple to retain or attract top talent. Any company or person could buy the cards on behalf of people wanting to get into the country and then hire those people.
“I get calls from, as an example, companies where they want to hire the No. 1 student at a school. Person comes from India, China, Japan, lots of different places. And they go to Harvard, the Wharton School of Finance, they go to Yale,” Trump said. “And they make job offers, but the offer is immediately rescinded because you have no idea whether or not that person can stay in the country. I want to be able to have that person stay in the country. These companies can go and buy a gold card, and they can use it as a matter of recruitment.”
