A funny thing Americans don't seem to know.

I know a Chinese guy, lifelong Hong Konger. He got rich running the best AV company in China. He decided to dip his toes into the US market.

He bought a Green Card for about $500,000. It's a State Department program of long standing.

They can refuse an applicant, of course. But legal status in the US is rationed by ability to pay and is available on demand to the wealthy.

Even funnier. After a couple years he surrendered his Green Card and abandoned his investment. He found the US to be too corrupt to do business in.

But DeSantos's little rule would only clear out less-wealthy Chinese property-buyers, not the Oligarchs.
