Is that the Texas rancher that drove over the IED while on a ranch in the U. S. or in Mexico?

Clarification please.

I believe that he was on the Mexican side of the border.

Correct. He was visiting a ranch he owned in Mexico across the border from Brownsville.

The "Gold Card" might be a bigger draw as things deteriorate more abroad. Especially when you have the equivalent of the "Reign of Terror" going on in many of these countries that throw off the previous oligarchs who have been running the show, an extra three million is a cheap price to pay if you have that kind of wealth. We are talking about the people that would be paying for $10M-$20M homes. It is just a minor surcharge.

The exodus that has been going on with the mass immigration is a pressure relief valve.

Will it be a huge cash cow for the government? Not that likely. I would be surprised if they sold more than 100 of them in any given year.

There is also the obvious question of if we want the kind of people fleeing reprisal in their home country.
