Letter to the President

I am writing because your recent proposal to sell a “$5 million fast-track visa” is not just misguided — it is embarrassing, dangerous, and unworthy of the office you hold.

The idea that America should sell entry to the highest bidder is a betrayal of the values this country claims to stand for. It is an insult to every immigrant who fought their way here through years of paperwork, scrutiny, and sacrifice. It is an insult to citizens who expect their leaders to protect national security, not auction it off like a luxury condo.

Let’s be honest: this proposal resembles a cash-grab, not a policy. The math doesn’t work. The economics don’t work. The national-security implications are alarming. And the message it sends—whether you intend it or not—is that the United States is for sale.

You are asking Americans to believe that the solution to our challenges is letting billionaires and oligarchs buy their way into the country. That is not leadership. It is desperation dressed up as strategy.

Immigration is too serious, too consequential, and too intertwined with our national identity to be treated like a fundraising gimmick. Yet that is exactly how this proposal comes across. A president should be strengthening our democratic institutions, not undermining them with ideas that blur the line between public service and private profit.

This plan opens the door to money launderers, corrupt foreign officials, and individuals with hostile agendas—all under the banner of “raising revenue.” Even countries with far weaker institutions have abandoned similar schemes after they were exploited. The fact that we are even discussing it at the presidential level is a sign of how far off course we have drifted.

America needs thoughtful, principled policy—not shortcuts, not stunts, and certainly not transparent attempts to monetize the government.

I urge you to drop this proposal immediately. Our country deserves a president who protects its integrity, not one who puts a price tag on it.
