The solution today, which I do not recommend, but showing how the modern world without pink glasses. Well, some time-quite officially, you can buy a U.S. citizen. We are approaching a bit longer to Emperor Caracalla-which gave the Roman citizenship to all free inhabitants of the Roman Empire. Apparently americanum Empire had not yet reached that stage-but I will not really surprised, if you implement something similar. Of course, the edict of Caracalla had a tax base and this time is different. But the thing:
Since 1990, there is a visa category of the right of residence (green card), EB-5. But under the guise of a very solid, much has changed in the meantime. This program began in order to facilitate the functioning of major investors in the United States-then the reason of the limited popularity has been practically shelved-for now it seems the fiscal purposes only.
Although they are the real benefits of U.S. citizenship-that is real, slightly greater legal protection in some countries-consulate But the U.S. ability and willingness of usually much different from the Polish consulate. In some situations, the offense-unconscious in an exotic country can be an issue of prison or not (that is, in fact, sometimes life or death). In this regard it makes sense. But the second-fiscal side of the coin is to tax all income. U.S. citizen is obliged to pay income tax regardless of tax residence and place of income (of course, agreement on avoidance of double taxation that can remove or alleviate the defect)
How can you guess after this, the U.S. government in pursuit of profits gladly welcome foreigners, which can skroić-that is, quite logically, can obtain citizenship of the relatively wealthy people without any fuss (no-right).
Under current practice, and simply "invest" 500 thousand. or $ 1 million (depending on the unemployment in the location of the investment), but falls a bit to document the origin of the money (seriously-bit, and even a tiny Polish przekrętacz to deal with these requirements, he advised.) Rather, it functions as a fig leaf than a real firewall against "dirty money". Returning to investment-it has to create 10 jobs in FTE and such a state must be maintained for 2 years. Theoretically, the investment does not have any sense and nobody was interested-though of course a clause to circumvent the law works and how someone would want to use-you should not overdo it. Of course, after obtaining a green card, you need the time and still stay in the U.S. before obtaining citizenship-but that's not the things that is causing any problems-though of course in contrast to the rest of the candidates citizenship "lightly" is not a way to settle by correspondence. What's more-it is a very popular solution-there is a limit of 10 thousand visas a year and it is not used.
As above, I showed what I think about U.S. citizenship and so-in some specific cases it might be a good idea, but it is risky for the future-which in the coming years there will be very uncertain and weakening the state, controlling more and more of its citizens and armed the teeth is nowadays the biggest potential enemy units. Therefore, without denying the real protection from other governments-the U.S. has become increasingly possessive and dangerous-although it is hard to guess how the situation will change-perhaps one day take over the power of libertarian isolationists, and it will be again an oasis of freedom which is hard to get a passport and so will be as found.
While this is obviously a solution for the wealthy-a with $ 1 million is a lot bigger and better opportunities.
And anyway unless the U.S. came in earnest for the "elite" group of countries selling citizenship. Banana Republic States of America-ot, and so ...
