I’ve been an American Express “member” for over 40 years. At some point, I upgraded from a green Amex card to a gold card. Trump is offering his gold card as a way to get a green card.
“$5 million to these people is jet fuel cost. It means nothing to them,” says Matthew Kolken, an immigration lawyer from Buffalo, NY, who has Canadian clients asking about the Gold Card.
I’m supposed to be impressed? I’m appalled. Trump has made it clear that he considers all poor immigrants to be violent criminals. Now he is implying that all rich immigrants are good and worthy of American residency.
Of course, it may not become a reality, given Trump’s track record of failed ideas. When will Alcatraz reopen as a prison? I’m thinking likely never.
Yes, it’s both:
1. disgusting
2. completely consistent
