Why is citizenship being sold at all?

A green card isn't citizenship and you already pay for it. And if you fuck up it can be revoked and you can be deported.

The rich jeets can, and who do you think is holding the door open for the shit encrusted masses of jeets?

Who won't be getting green cards and we don't have to accept them in.

So the House passed some of the DOGE Cuts

View attachment 7493960

Okay, now what? Is the bill just gonna sit in the Senate much like the Safe Elections one? Are the Dems in the Senate just gonna wait it out or is there anything the Republican's can do to force a vote?

What the actual fuck do you want? This is how the Government works, you pass a bill through the house then the senate. Are you expecting something different?

What would be your preferred avenue of them enshrining the DOGE cuts into law in a way the Dems cannot reverse or federal judges cannot strike down?

The man is selling citizenship for five million dollars.

yes and a normal investment path to citizenship is 2 million dollars. He just increased the price 2.5x

You are cooked.

America is attempting to deal with a multi pronged attack on its existence. One that requires a mobilization of government, civil society and the ranks of the citizens. Doing this necessarily requires nuance. Especially since America as a country is massive and continent spanning. Full of people who would sooner tell someone giving orders to fuck off rather then do what they are told.

You see Trump using nuance and say he's selling out. What I see is someone who finally understands the difference between being a CEO and being a King. A CEO can do whatever he wants with his property. A King however cannot do shit without the apparatus of the State and the allegiance of the People. It's such an immense order of social organization its no wonder that many Kings ended up stuffed marionnetes controlled by court officials who actually knew what they were doing and did it "in the name of the King".

The crisis facing the American Nation now however is so grave that we can no longer rely on court officials. We NEED a King. And Trump has had the audacity to take the crown and the American People in their desperation have agreed to put that crown on his head.

Which is why this weekends "No Kings" protests are rather prescient. Because Trump IS a King. He is our King. The King of the Americans. Who we empowered as citizens to defend our nation.

For all his faults (and he has MANY), Trump was the only fully paid in member of the American Elite who chose to side with the Americans and go for the Crown. Every other American Elite and Servant politician not only denies the existence of the Crown of America, they deny the existence of the American people.

Trump found the Crown of America in the gutter. May god have mercy on him, he took it up in his own hands. A crown so powerful and so fickle it has killed every man to wear it.

We as Americans must place our trust in someone who is willing to fight for us, and we cannot let ourselves be demoralized further. The invasion and subversion of our nation has progressed too far. We have to stand on something, and more importantly we have to stand behind someone.

Better the man who took the slings and arrows for the throne.

I hope Trump doesn't grant amnesty to illegals. What I hope he does instead is tax remittances at 50% or higher.

People ITT have already pointed out the "skilled low paying beaner" thing is a total racket. They shouldn't be here. They entrench themselves and are holding out for another Reagan amnesty deal.

I knew plenty of people who wanted to explore the country and were happy to pick beans or whatever for free lodgings/small stipends as they travelled the USA for a year before college. Except they couldn't get any work doing that.

Why not fund a program for people to do that? They get two weeks of training then they get allocated to a bunch of farms in various states. Instathots would love the chance to take pictures of themselves "finding themselves" travelling the USA.
Lots of carefully created pics of them in sunflower patches. It's also a good way for young people to make friends and meet new people.

Pretty sure the Israelis did that with the kibbutz? I think the Australians even have a special visa for Bongs to come over during harvest season to work on farms.
Canada has special visas for foreigners to work snow season.
So this idea that you need an army of "trained" workers to do crop picking is false. Other countries bring in new labor to do it for them every year.

Failing the influencer ho farm worker special, why can't we use prisoners?
Don't even need chain gangs when you have guns, GPS collars, and drones?

Kashoggi was also an open supporter of terrorist groups.

Tracks, given so is the Washington Post.

 

[Sammich]

Kashoggi was a retard, to be fair. If you swing at a literal prince as hard as he did, you shouldn’t then go into the prince’s consulate for paperwork as if nothing could happen to you.

Agreed, he got what he deserved, I do hope he got cut into little bitty pieces. People never tell you who his uncle was, and it only takes a little digging to find out why he got what he deserved.

Adnan khashoggi, well known arms dealer was his uncle, if you don't know.

A reminder on how the new Trump Gold Card is supposed to differ from the preexisting EB-5 visa which provides a method for eligible immigrant investors to become lawful permanent residents by investing substantial amounts of money to finance a U.S. business as long as it creates at least 10 new, full-time jobs for Americans and work-authorized immigrants.

From an article on the matter:

While the astronomical price tag is the most eye-catching aspect of the proposal, it diverges from similar offerings like the EB-5 investor visa in that the fee can be paid on behalf of somebody else and would also seemingly exempt recipients from having to pay taxes on income earned overseas.

The gold card’s primary purpose is to create a new revenue stream large enough to offset the estimated $4.5 trillion increase in new deficits under the administration’s proposed budget. Trump has set an ambitious goal to sell 1 million gold cards, which would generate $5 trillion for the government.

Apart from the fiscal benefits, during his March 4 address to Congress, Trump also touted the gold card as a way to ensure the U.S. attracts and retains wealthy immigrants despite the administration’s sweeping crackdown on illegal immigration.

People are being arrested in LA:

ok, so what the fuck is going on with these people, are they even still in jail? if you think it's the end of the fucking world, i'd wouldn't be handcuffed and walking like muted cattle that's for sure.

 

[BullfrogBill]

Why is citizenship being sold at all?

Lots of people want to be American citizens and this is an easy way to skip ahead in the line and ideally $5 million off the deficit. Trump stated a few months back that 100% of the money made from Trump cards are going towards the deficit, may sound optimistic sure but I'm just telling you what Trump himself said a while ago.

NOOOOO! HE WAS WITH THE HECKIN' WASHINGTON POST! THEY WON A PULITZER PEACE AWARD IN 1974 WHEN A CIA AGENT WAS HIRED BY THEM AND BROKE THE WATERGATE STORY THAT WAS SUPER UNIQUE (even though Eisenhower's campaign spied on JFK, JFK's campaign spied on Nixon, etc etc) AND DEFINITELY WASN'T WRITTEN BY CIA AGENTS AND SHILLED IMMEDIATELY BY LEFT-WING MEDIA PERSONALITIES AND THE FIFTH ESTATE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY AND HAS BEEN USED BY communist activist retards who can't get real jobs JOURNALISTS TO JUSTIFY ALL THEIR RETARDED POLICIES!

I always found it funny that the villains in Captain Planet were all just unrepentantly evil shitheads for no reason. It's not even like, an oil tycoon dumping waste to save money on his margins or some shit, no it's a purple fucking gremlin man in a tophat dumping toxic waste because he hates trees.

kek

I've heard they were going to have villains with more realistic motivations, but if they did, kids would start crying to their parents "HOW CAN YOU WORK IN LUMBER YOU'RE DESTROYING THE ENVIROMENT!" so they instead made the villains so absurd kids wouldn't recognize them in anyone real

You could argue that defeats the purpose of the show, but at least they didn't want to make kids argue with their parents

>President Donald Trump says he’s considering an executive order that would allow certain undocumented immigrants to remain in the U.S. to help prevent a shortage of farm workers.

"Is considering" is different wording than "is going to"

 

[Candlelight Desolation]

Blacks, and by extension, Hispanics/Native Americans, have this growing distrust of a society and government they see as, if not entirely White occupied, definitely constructed by Whites. To them, this goes as deep as the food they eat. After all, whitey gives them food stamps to buy this poison that just so happens to make them obese and give them cancer.

Sorry for the late reply, but I had a theory some time ago that black people having a higher likelihood to have colon cancer is similar to Native Americans and booze being beaten into their genetics: eating nothing but gazelle/warthog meat for centuries with next to no fruit. Carnivore diet leads to colon cancer.

I wanna see the "No Kings" protests in Morocco. And Thailand.

ok that's fucked up. All American citizens have to pay taxes on income earned overseas over 100k. Why should the rich who buy citizenship get exempted from the same double taxation that other American expats get

Someone pointed out earlier that a lot of us are between 30-45 right now. So the older ones are referencing Captain Planet and the younger ones do it tongue-in-cheek.

Then there's the Gargoyles Chads who know what's actually happening behind the scenes.

 

[Zoot]

s it creates at least 10 new, full-time jobs for Americans and work-authorized immigrants.

lmao. America doesn't need more jobs, and certainly not for immigrants. it needs to have millions and millions fewer jobs as it sends people back.
