U.S. Vice President JD Vance sparked a new debate with his recent remarks on green card holders’ rights. While green cards officially grant foreign nationals the right to live and work in the U.S., they do not guarantee indefinite residency. Vance clarified that green card holders should not assume permanent status in the country, as U.S. laws allow for revocation under specific circumstances. His comments come amid former President Donald Trump's proposal for a "Gold Card" program, which would allow wealthy foreign nationals to secure U.S. residency by paying a $5 million fee.

Vance emphasized that the issue is not about free speech but about national security. He stated that the decision to integrate green card holders into American society ultimately rests with U.S. citizens. Meanwhile, Trump’s administration has approached the Supreme Court to limit birthright citizenship. His executive orders on the matter faced legal challenges in federal courts, with opponents arguing they violate the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The Trump administration contends that the amendment was not meant to grant citizenship to children of illegal or temporary residents.
