It's been around for a long while. As noted above, a lot of countries have an immigration track for prospective immigrants willing to make a substantial investment in a business located in the desired country.

I should add that what IS unusual is having someone in the White House promoting specific investments as a way to qualify.

7. I was genuinely shocked --

that a visa program like that existed. :O After all these years involved in politics, I had no idea. And I have to say that I do not like it, regardless of who introduced it or voted for it.
