How many people do you know that pay $500k in taxes over 4 years?
You may as well make the cost $500 million, you'll get the same number of applicants.
- maerF0x0 10y ago1) thats why "or whatever" followed 500k, it was an example number. 2) 500k taxes over 4 yrs is not the point, the point is to match (or even over charge for) the marginal systemic costs of that person entering the country. Not just a fee for applying for the visa but all the infrastructure and social support costs. 3) Actually there is kind of an entrepreneur system in place anyways. And they allow upto 10k per year https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-job/green-card-through-investment https://www.uscis.gov/green-card/green-card-through-job/gree...
