“close on a house (with a domestic underwriter) and instant-citizenship”

I hope this is in jest. Should Citizenship be that devalued? The very thought of selling Citizenship for money seems abhorrent to me. It is one thing to allow foreigners to buy property and live here but giving political rights without concomitant allegiance borders on treason. I can understand the cynicism towards the value of Citizenship engendered by illegal immigration; but to accept defeat so brazenly seems shameful.
