Trump's 'Gold Card' Proposal and Vance's Remarks Signal Tougher US Immigration Policies

Vice President JD Vance emphasizes that green cards do not guarantee indefinite residency, while President Trump proposes a $5 million 'gold card' for wealthy immigrants.

Vice President JD Vance stated that green card holders do not have an indefinite right to stay in the US, citing national security and community considerations.
Vance's comments followed the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a green card holder accused of ties to Hamas, though he has not been formally charged with a crime.
President Donald Trump has proposed replacing the EB-5 immigrant investor visa program with a 'gold card' that offers green card privileges and a pathway to citizenship for $5 million.
Trump argues the 'gold card' would attract wealthy individuals and top international talent while generating revenue to reduce national debt.
Critics have raised concerns over the potential chilling effect of these policies on free speech and the broader implications for immigrant rights in the US.
