Donald Trump has launched Gold Cards, a method for rich people to pay $1 million to get a fast-track visa to the U.S. — and Jimmy Kimmel has thoughts.
“This is a card that will allow wealthy foreigners to live here. For a million bucks you get legal visitor status, you get a pathway to citizenship, and a presidential pardon for one major crime of your choosing,” Kimmel jokes in the clip above. “It might be time to update that inscription on the Statue of Liberty. Never mind your poor and tired, give us a million bucks, you’re in.”
The Jimmy Kimmel Live! host goes on to play footage of Trump’s Secretary of Commerce, Howard Lutnick, speaking to Fox about how the cards will bring “the best people” to America.
“That’s right, the best people are the rich people,” says Kimmel. “It’s what Jesus always said. It’s in the Bible, he says it’s easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle if you pay the needle a million dollars. Rich people are the finest people there are, that’s why God made them rich. And I say it’s about time our immigration system ran like the rewards program at one of Trump’s bankrupted casinos.”
