Donald Trump’s “gold card” visa, where a foreigner can shell out at least $1 million to legally live and work in the U.S., has been approved for one person, said Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick Thursday — appearing to fall a bit short of an earlier claim.

After it launched in December, Lutnick said that the government had sold $1.3 billion “worth” in just several days, as Trump stood by holding up the gilded ticket and said, “essentially it’s the green card on steroids.”

Lutnick did not address the apparent discrepancy in an exchange with a congresswoman at Thursday’s committee hearing.

    Which is exactly what a green card is

    Tell that to all the green hard holders they’ve detained.

    Oh wait, you can’t because nobody knows where the fuck they are.

        Did you think I was suggesting that all green card holders were detained?

        Because yeah, no. Read it again maybe?

          Before this gets into a whole thing. I think that this discussion wasn’t really the point or topic I was trying to address.

          A green card is supposed to be permanent residency. Just like the purchased residences that some European countries had.

          Trump using ICE and homeland security to commit crimes is a given
