Selling immigration and “golden passports” — NOT a new idea.

IMF: Citizenship for Sale – Francisca Fernando, Jonathan Pampolina, and Robin Sykes Summer 2021 While not a new phenomenon—several countries have adopted “golden passport” programs over the years—the onset of the pandemic generated renewed interest. Price tags for a second citizenship—sometimes in only 30 days—range from $100,000 to $2.5 million. Antigua and Barbuda, Cyprus, Grenada, Jordan, Malta, St Kitts and Nevis, and Vanuatu are among the many countries that have offered such deals.

What are golden passports? Golden passport programs allow individuals and their families to buy new citizenship through targeted investments or contributions. Investments and contributions: These include direct monetary contributions, the purchase of government debt instruments (for example, investment in government stocks, bonds, securities), investment in specific sectors (for example, real estate, construction), and the establishment of businesses. Qualifying amounts typically range from $100,000 to $2.5 million (excluding fees) and have various financing terms (for example, up-front payments, installments, bank loans). Administration: Typically, a government agency oversees the program, and may rely on third parties to market the program, facilitate application submissions, and carry out due diligence. Some programs have statutory quotas that limit the number of applications. Application process: The application process usually requires some background checks (for example, criminal background checks, vetting by third parties), though requirements differ. Processing applications can take from 30 days to more than a year—many offer fast-track options in exchange for higher contribution amounts.

My letter to reps:

I’m against this “golden passport” scheme. It seems like a way to promote international bribery and prioritize foreign rich people over ordinary Americans. It’s wrong and shouldn’t happen. And if it does happen, I expect to support people lobbying to reverse it in future and shaft those tycoons and oligarchs and sketch people who used such a shady program.

Please feel free to copy or repurpose my letter for your own letters to reps.
