My idea that immigration be a solution to the equity problem in the US real estate market is catching on!

Thomas Friedman, American journalist, columnis...

Nice to see Thomas Friedman the concept that I proposed in the Huffington Post in September of last year that immigration can be the solution to the real estate equity problem than USA faces. And in my view you will never solve the debt problem USA faces without solving the underlying equity problem first. Tom Friedman is not as precise as I am and I have to reword my concept not to sound that USA is “selling” passports but I still believe my idea is a good one. Especially considering that for decades USA has been selling entry to the country in exchange for money in the format of investor´s visas.

  1. It is great having somebody as Friedman reminding Americans that open borders, open trade and open ideas are the key to the future.
