We will change H-1B visas, Green Card system: Commerce Secretary Lutnick

United States Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick said that the U.S. intends to alter the current immigration system, specifically the H-1B visa program and green cards, local media reported.

According to Mr. Lutnick, the Trump administration plans to introduce a “gold card” programme, which would allow wealthy foreigners to invest $5 million in exchange for U.S. residency.

“I’m involved in changing the H-1B visa program. We’re going to change that programme because that’s terrible, right? We’re going to change the green card,” Mr. Lutnick said during an Interview with Fox News. ”That’s the gold card that’s coming. And that’s when we’re going to start picking the best people to come into this country. It’s time for that to change,” he added.
