Trump's Gold Card visa program faces constitutional scrutiny
Original: Selling the American Dream: Constitutional Limits of the Gold Card Program
The Trump administration's Gold Card program, which offers US residency to wealthy foreign investors for a large fee, is drawing debate over whether it exceeds constitutional limits on immigration and naturalization powers. Legal commentary questions whether the president can restructure or replace the existing EB-5 investor visa system without Congress, and critics say the program effectively sells American residency, raising concerns about equity, corruption risks and the rule of law.
Why now: The Trump administration's new $5 million residency-for-sale Gold Card is prompting legal debate over whether it is constitutional without congressional approval.
