NEW: Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick says he sold 1000 immigration Gold Cards (priced at $5M each) in one day this week.
The development means $5 Billion was made to help pay off the national debt.
(7 million gold cards would pay off the national debt.)
"There are 37,000,000 people in the world who are capable of buying the card... The president thinks we can sell a million."
Lutnick says Trump got the idea to sell a Gold Card during a meeting he had with investor John Paulson.

Hope they’ve been thoroughly vetted, or will be.
This never sounded like a good idea.
Not a fan. America is full. I don’t care how rich they are.
Probably all Sheiks and Royals to begin.......Cartel drug kingpins will come later when Democrats get in............
I am willing to bet that MOST of these buyers are from Communist China.
What does the Gold Card get you? Citizenship?
It’s basically like the Romans did with their empire citizens 2000 years ago...............
A similar program has already been in existence for years. The main difference is we’re now charging recipients for the privilege.
Sounds legit.
No, America is not full of highly qualified, desperately needed and highly taxed producers! It’s very simple, run out the dem voting illegal benefit sucking riff raff and replace them with people who pay more American taxes than you and me combined.
In one day that’s $5 Billion to pay down our debt!
That’s $5 billion Dollars right there, and more too come I’m sure......................
Not a bad idea!
Until democrats figure out how to get their hands on the proceeds and spread it out among their relatives and friends.
cue the district court judge in 3,2,1....
I wonder who they will vote for in subsequent elections? Vance or AOC?
It’s brilliant!
If they can pay $5 million for an immigration gold card, they will bring jobs with them. Tariffs will keep them from outsourcing jobs to their original countries.
America’s not close to full...and getting emptier of the riff raff every day.
If they are properly vetted, I dont care if they sell 2 million.
Probably not a good idea but I do like the creativity.
But these statements about paying off the debt are premature. First they need to reduce the budget deficit. I read the latest budget deficit (2024) was about $1.9T.
Selling citizenship sounds like the last gasp of a dying empire.
