Default New Bill gives visas to immigrants who spend at least $500K on a home in the U.S.
A new Bill introduced by Senator Charles Schumer (D) and Senator Mike Lee (R) proposes to offer temporary residency visas to immigrants who spend at least $500,000 on a home in the U.S.

If Shrill Schumer is for for it. I'm against it.

I smell a rat.

So they are selling residency visas for $500 K?

It is not about freedom. It is not about democracy. It is not about America.

It is all about money.

I got the inside scoop tonight. They are going to try to get this Bill through and enacted, then drop the $500K down to $100K in a future piece of legislation.
