Tuesday 6 September 2022 06:59 PM Libs scared into paying millions for second citizenship by possibility of ... trends now Interest is spiking among well-to-do U.S. wokes who are shopping the global market for citizenship opportunities that could remove them from the hell-scape that a second Trump term or DeSantis administration would surely bring. Several dozen nations currently offer so-called 'golden visas,' which have increased in popularity in recent years from reasons ranging from the 2008 financial collapse to the 2010 Arab Spring to, most recently, political landscapes that cause discomfort to society's upper echelons. Immigration attorneys and investment migration consultants say they've charted a significant uptick in interest from the liberal elite terrified about the political future of the nation and in search of an exit plan. The era of Donald Trump prompted many celebrities of means to flee the U.S. Despite uni-party control in Washington, D.C. Democrats remain fixated on finding back up plans to American life and now they can as the 'golden passport' market explodes There are people who are convinced that this country is filled with lunatic Christian fundamentalists and good old boys from the South David Lesperance, an immigration attorney, told the Daily Beast that. despite 'golden passports' once being most popular among rising titans of tech attempting to avoid IPO-related taxation events, or old-money conservatives schooled in the art of tax dodging, it's the libs who are now fiending after alternate citizenship in order to avoid an American future they won't bet on. The cost of acquired citizenship ranges from the low six-figures to many millions of dollars. Some Atlantic islands are ultimately affordable, while chic-European countries will cost you a pretty-penny. Innsbruck, Austria, where a 'golden passport' fetches as much as $10 million dollars The skyline of Amman, Jordan may be tempting enough for some foreigners to pay up to $1.5 million for citizenship Citizenship Malta is one of the most popular and highly recommended 'golden visas,' but you'll have to pay somewhere in the ballpark of $1 million for access to the European Union via the small island nation St. Kitts and Nevis could become a permanent vacation spot for a price in the ballpark of $500,000 The low tax rates and supposedly liberal policies of foreign lands may initially seem tempting to the radically anti-Trump constituency, but U.S. law dictates that in order to avoid the national tax code, an individual must typically renounce their citizenship. Most Americans, for that reason, remain noncommittal when it comes to fully renouncing their U.S. belonging. 'The vast majority of clients ... get it because it's an insurance policy. It's a Plan B. Wealthy people, they want the option,' Henley & Partners - one such investment migration consultancy firm - executive Dominic Volek told the Beast.

Several dozen celebrities - at least - threatened, nay promised, to leave the U.S. if (and eventually when) Donald Trump was elected to high office. But none of them did. Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer said they'd move to Spain. 'The View' host Raven Symone said Canada was beckoning. Snoop Dogg too inquired about heading to America's northern neighbor. Samuel L. Jackson pledged that his new home would be South Africa. Barbra Streisand committed to Australia. George Lopez said he would pre-emptively return to Mexico before Trump sent him there, and Cher said it would be time to explore interplanetary travel. Perhaps negotiating alternative citizenship turned out not to be the easy-breezy process the celebs envisioned when they initially swore off America. But now, there are industry professionals to help.
