President Donald Trump has launched a plan to offer a “gold card” visa, where affluent individuals can pay $5 million for permanent residence in the U.S. This is in contrast to the normal green cards, which demand much lower fees from the government. The scheme would offer an accelerated route to citizenship for those willing and able to pay. Trump estimates this move could bring up to $5 trillion into government coffers if one million individuals take part.

The proposal would replace the current EB-5 visa program, under which foreign investors may become residents if they invest a minimum of $800,000 in American companies that provide employment. The EB-5 program has been subject to accusations of fraud and abuse, and Trump contends that charging a flat fee of $5 million would be a simpler means of encouraging wealthy immigrants without having to keep tabs on investments.

Although the gold card program would be a boon for government coffers, it also creates issues of fairness and access. Its critics say that it rewards wealth over ability, possibly denying opportunities to highly skilled immigrants who are contributing to the economy in other capacities. It also could cause a composition shift in the immigrant population, rewarding older, financially established individuals rather than younger professionals with long-term economic value.

The second concern is to the individuals currently in the EB-5 process. Applicants have waited years and invested considerable resources for approval. If the EB-5 program is terminated, their future hangs in the balance. Legal specialists caution that eliminating the program with no transition strategy could harm the economy and investor confidence.

The gold card proposal also questions its impact on the housing market. An influx of affluent immigrants would increase real estate prices, especially in urban areas, making housing even more unaffordable for middle-class Americans. There are also concerns regarding national security and making sure applicants are properly screened.

While Trump’s proposal might have fiscal advantages, the outcome is a matter of its execution. It may restrict diversity in the labor pool if it displaces other avenues of immigration. But as an added provision for those willing and able to pay, if presented in tandem with current visa opportunities, it might offer yet another avenue of access without locking others out. The long-term economic and immigration system implications await observation.
