Trump's $5 million "Gold Card" Visa: A United States Immigration game-changer?. AI-Generated.

Supporters contend that this initiative could stimulate the economy by bringing in high-net-worth individuals, while critics see it as favoring money over merit and potentially enabling foreign billionaires, including Russian oligarchs, to purchase their way into the U.S.
