MSNBC’s Rick Stengel: Trump’s ‘Gold Card’ Plan ‘Maybe the Greatest Scam for Laundering Money’ in History

EXCERPT:

STENGEL: “And this is, we’ve done a terrible job of explaining what legislation is. So, this gold card is, it’s maybe the greatest scam for laundering money that’s ever been in human history, selling the highest office in the democracy, which is citizenship, as the justice said, for this price. But the EB-5 program shows how legislation can work, which is, yes, the people with wealth, we want them to come to America, but we don’t want to just have them buy citizenship. So, you give between $500,000 and $1 million to start a business in an area where there — where there’s low income, where there’s not enough businesses, there’s not enough housing, and you employ 10 people in that business. Like, wow, isn’t that smart? What legislators do. That is the best example of how legislation works. And this is the worst example of how legislation works.”
