President Trump touted the immigration “gold card” that will help the United States balance its budget during his address to a joint session of Congress.
“These people will have to pay tax in our country,” Mr. Trump said Tuesday night.
“They’ll also be taking people out of colleges and paying for them so that we can keep them in our country, instead of having them being forced out,” he said.
“So while we take out the criminals, killers, traffickers and child predators who are allowed to enter our country under the open border policy of these people, the Democrats, the Biden administration — the open border, insane policies that you’ve allowed to destroy our country — we will now bring in brilliant, hard-working, job-creating people,” he said. “They’re going to pay a lot of money, and we’re going to reduce our debt with that money.”
Mr. Trump first announced the gold card last month and said it will be sold for a whopping $5 million. He said it will give the holder green card privileges and that they will be wealthy and successful.
