Breitbart: Washington Post: Birth Tourism Beats Trump's 'Gold Card'
President Trump proposes a "Gold Card" citizenship program for $5 million, aiming to attract wealthy foreigners. Meanwhile, some immigrants, like Brazilian doctor Wladimir Lorentz, are capitalizing on birth tourism, charging around $20,000 for U.S. citizenship for newborns, which can benefit their families for generations.
Trump's plan seeks to replace the EB-5 program and curb birthright citizenship for children of "birth tourists" and illegal migrants, potentially affecting 400,000 births in 2024. While some support the changes, others argue it undermines economic contributions from immigrants.
