I'm no fan of Donald Trump but this "buy your own visa" scheme always left me very perplexed. I was trying to figure out who would benefit from it, and aside a few wealthy, mostly Asian citizens, I couldn't see the reason for it.
I'm glad it's dead.
p.s.: Before you call me xenophobe keep in mind I'm a foreign born US citizen, I immigrated through the normal procedures.
- pointoutxeno 9y agoYou are an Italian [1], which thanks to its membership to EU and how US green cards are allocated significantly benefits from the current status quo unlike say Chinese/Indians/Mexicans. So please don't pretend as if you went through any hardship or discount your race privilege. Oh and xenophobia against Asians who are rich is also xenophobia.

- jshevek 9y agoThe parents statement is literally correct. You seem, to me, to be assuming motive and wrongly accusing the parent.
- sumedh 9y agoThe reason Chinese/Indians have huge delays is because of the sheer numbers who apply for green card. What does race have to do with it. The OP might be an Indian Italian.
