The dude that spoke to me, I think was wrong. Here is what USA Today says (I know):
President Donald Trump’s long-touted “gold card,” which offers foreigners a path to U.S. citizenship after paying $5 million to the government, is open for business.
But even if you have the money, there’s a waitlist at trumpcard.gov. And read the fine print carefully: Your $5 million doesn’t buy you immediate citizenship.
Trump has said that he is not seeking approval from Congress as he is not providing gold card buyers with citizenship - only a path to citizenship. The path to citizenship requirements for card buyers are unclear and White House officials have said more details will be provided soon.
Yeah, I bet it’s going to be a fee. A “tariff” on getting your ass in the country. At least with the investment scheme you have skin in the game, you’d like to see that 1m grow into 2m. If you just pay 5m and then fuckoff you don’t get anything back but a green card (?). Of course, green cards aren’t worth the paper they are printed on anymore.

So true, and wealth won’t protect you if he doesn’t like you. Look at Elon having to go groveling back to him.
Maybe they’re just getting people to pre pay for their own detention/deportation.
Collect $5 million, deport, rinse, repeat.
