The US Government's Hypocritical Approach to Citizenship The recent announcement by Secretary of State Marco Rubio of a task force aimed at cracking down on "birth tourism" has been met with skepticism, and for good reason.
Rubio's initiative is ironic, given the Trump administration's own program, the Gold Card, which offers US residency in exchange for a $1 million contribution, effectively putting American citizenship up for sale.
The Gold Card program appears to be a blatant attempt to circumvent existing laws and regulations by offering a backdoor route to residency for those willing to pay the price.
