Oh I can think of lots of people who will want to take up this offer:

For instance, international criminals who have made lots of money running trafficking women.

Russian oligarchs who fear the mob in their home country.

Chinese billionaires who fall on the wrong side of Xi.

Narco kings from Colombia.

Saudi Princes, perhaps with the surname Bin Laden.

Slovenian hookers who want to greenwash their backgrounds.

I mean the list is almost endless, and we can get some serious coin, and what harm could those kinds of people really do, compared to what’s going on in Washington now?

Outbidding domestic oligarchs and JCs on luxury real estate, making their lives more miserable?

Undercutting honorable, hardworking American crime syndicates that are already trying hard to make a buck in order to survive?

Don’t they merit protection, too?

Then again, if you can find 1 million criminals with $5 MM to spend, that’s $5 trillion for deficit reduction.

Do they take bitcoin?

Seriously??

Until now it was a democracy. A wealthy one at that. Was.

My parents came here. Dad in the ER saw the stabbings and shooting victims. He wrote the paper for gun control.

Forget about it. My pregnant with me mother got death threats from the “good guys”.

Heh, it is down 25% from its ATH so they may want to pass on that offer for a bit.

I think we know this system has been used by Canada for years. That is the reason many from Hong Kong relocated to Vancouver. Not sure they had to spend the wealth but having assets made it easier to be admitted.

I think you are conflating. Canada’s existing system (Canada’s Startup Visa (SUV) program) is very much like our existing system ( E-2 visa, the EB-5 visa, and the International Entrepreneur Rule (IER)).

I don’t think Canada has a simple, “Pay $5MM and you are a citizen” program.

I think Trudeau is taking some heat for immigration rates in Canada. I hear you saying their immigration rules are similar to ours. But no question they are far more welcoming than we are.

You imply that our immigration quotas are too low.

I did, where? If I did, what is the point you are trying to make? I was simply illustrating that Canada DOES NOT have a system like what is being proposed in the US.

The factual nature of that statement has no correlation as to whether rates are too high or too low, the heat someone is getting on such, or my opinion on immigration quotas.
