百万美元兜售美国居留权，特朗普这个脑洞开得有点大

Group 1 - The "Trump Gold Card" program allows individuals to obtain U.S. residency by paying $1 million or $2 million through corporate sponsorship, significantly reducing the initial price from $5 million announced earlier this year [1][3] - The program is divided into three categories: the "Gold Card" for individuals, the "Platinum Card" for longer stays, and the "Corporate Gold Card" for companies sponsoring employees [3][4] - The introduction of the "Gold Card" effectively undermines the existing EB-1 and EB-2 visa programs, which were designed to attract skilled talent to the U.S. [4][5] Group 2 - The increase in H-1B visa fees to $100,000 aims to compel U.S. companies to hire domestic workers instead of foreign employees, particularly in tech and finance sectors [5][6] - Major U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have been the largest users of H-1B visas, with a significant portion of visa holders coming from India [5][6] - The new fee structure may lead to a reevaluation of relationships between large corporations and the Trump administration, as companies face challenges in hiring skilled labor [6][7] Group 3 - Trump's economic policies, characterized by tax cuts domestically and increased tariffs internationally, are seen as attempts to address a growing fiscal deficit, which has reached $36.7 trillion [7][8] - The administration's focus on monetizing visas reflects a shift from attracting technical talent to prioritizing high-net-worth individuals, potentially compromising U.S. competitiveness [7][8] - The overall strategy may backfire, as the U.S. risks losing its appeal to global talent and wealthy individuals due to these aggressive policy changes [8]
