Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) credited President Donald Trump as “a business guy” when addressing the president’s plan to sell gold cards to wealthy immigrants but acknowledged that the idea is “very unusual.”

Trump touted the suggested revisions to the United States visa program this week, saying that these cards with “green card privileges” would be sold to immigrants for $5 million. The Alabama senator said that “only” Trump could come up with such an idea, adding that the president is “always” coming up with ideas to improve the country.

“He’s a business guy, and so we’ll see where this ends up,” Tuberville said on Fox News’s The Ingraham Angle. “But it’s very unusual, but again, at the end of the day, we need to make sure that we bring in good people — if we’re bringing in people that can help this country from being illegal to legal.”

Trump claimed the new program would bring “wealthy people” into the country. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick also explained that the program would replace the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, which he claimed was “full-on nonsense.”

The Immigrant Investor Program currently requires immigrants to pay $1 million for a visa and launch a business that creates at least 10 new jobs.

Amid the Trump administration’s work to combat illegal immigration, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem detailed a new webpage that illegal immigrants can use to alert authorities of their presence in the U.S. within 30 days of their arrival. Noem explained that this provides a way for illegal immigrants to be sent home to their country of origin and still have a chance to come back to the U.S. legally and “live the American dream.”

On Tuesday, Gov. Katie Hobbs (D-AZ) signed an executive order to create Operation Desert Guardian, a task force that would gather multiple state agencies to combat transnational criminal organizations on the southern border.
