Alien is a term use to cover immigrants (unfortunately an incomplete description of their status). If they are “legal” aliens (Green card holders & some other status) this is as legit as you can imagine (they pay taxes, they are qualified to be here, they just don’t VOTE or travel with an US Passport)…
Riddle me this……Today, a new program is all over in the Easter European press to provide incentive to the wealthy to receive “legal alien” US status (aka. green card) if they invest in RE (I believe min of $1.0 million)…… This is nothing new, but with the economic condition I wonder if the $ limits change
