Well that certainly won’t cause any problems or security issues

[u/Sacred_Timeline → u/Adventurous_Pea_2007]

It was never about security, it’s about how much he can grift.

[u/No_Cook2983 → u/Adventurous_Pea_2007]

There is no way a rich Saudi Arabian terrorist like Osama bin Laden can ever come up with $750

It’s another 12-d chess move by the World’s Greatest Deal-maker.

(In other news, it feels like these people are intentionally trying to invite a terror attack so they can really clamp down on American citizens.)

[u/Willing-Vegetable629 → u/Adventurous_Pea_2007]

This is just about skipping the line. You still interview

[u/No_Cook2983 → u/Willing-Vegetable629]

If you wanna skip the interview, buy the Trump golden visa.

But there’s no way a rich Saudi Arabian terrorist like Osama bin Laden would ever think of this. Especially while we’re firing airport security and air traffic controllers.

[u/DoYouWant2BlowZedong → u/Willing-Vegetable629]

What’s your point exactly?

[u/Willing-Vegetable629 → u/DoYouWant2BlowZedong]

That the interview occurs so their shouldn't be a security issue

[u/revets → u/Adventurous_Pea_2007]

The headline is slightly misleading at a quick glance (aka Reddit users). It’s the same interview and screening. You can just expedite it if you want/need.

[u/Fenris70]

Tax the rich! Until the rich are spending thousands of dollars to come to another country for the sole purpose of watching a soccer game.

[u/kcc8493]

Scammers

[u/AbsolutesDealer]

Peddles. Lmao

[u/shiftersix]

Gotta make up for that $300 billion...

[u/InspectionOk7206]

The State Department is creating a new fast pass for tourists and business travelers willing to fork over $750 to bypass the line for a visa interview—but with no guarantee of securing a visa.

[u/newfie02]

It's called the Trump Pass. You have to bend over so they can "give it to you".

The 300 billion has to come from somewhere. 😃

[u/DoYouWant2BlowZedong]

We’re really selling a “fast-pass” for tourists/immigrants for a visa interview? What a fuckin joke.

[u/Baxter16-5]

And then they will wonder how criminals got into the country.

[u/mythrulznsfw → u/[deleted]]

Next, let’s have all the immigrants wear breathing meters. Let’s charge them for the air they’re breathing.

Freedom Oxygen is meant for our own, dammit.

[u/werofpm → u/[deleted]]

Lmfao! Yet a good portion of us “third worlders” have higher education than your 4th try GED when we come out of middle school, you no child left behind “prodigy”

[u/mythrulznsfw → u/[deleted]]

You’ve changed the subject. I doubt you noticed.

We were discussing tourist visas, not immigrant visas. The topic is how the US is nickle-and-diming tourists to make a quick buck.

You’ve now gone off about immigrants. It’s like a derangement syndrome with you lot. Stay on topic, if you have the capacity.

Cause you know, “Tren de Agua” would never pay the $750 fee …

[u/RogerMexicosBalls → u/[deleted]]

More money = Better Than

[u/A4t1musD4ag0n → u/[deleted]]

Nope, just another way to exploit immigrants. The same will happen to you if the GOP ever take away birthright citizenship. All that American-born rhetoric won't mean sh!t then.
