Charged liberals are spending millions of dollars on ‘golden passports’ because they fear a Trump-led civil war in 2024, immigration lawyers have revealed.
The wealthy Wakes are spending huge sums to obtain visas that allow them to escape to countries such as Austria, Turkey, Jordan and the Caribbean, according to the lawyers handling the cases.
The consultants say they have seen a massive increase in interest in second country citizenship in recent years.
Many Americans told them they are petrified by the idea of another Trump administration, while others cited the Roe v. Wade and the crash of 2008.

David Lesperance, an immigration attorney, told the Daily Beast that while ‘golden passports’ were once more popular with emerging tech titans trying to avoid IPO-related tax events, or conservatives wealthy educated in the art of tax evasion, it is the libs now seeking alternative citizenship to avoid an American future they won’t bet on.

The low tax rates and supposedly liberal policies of foreign countries may initially seem tempting to the radically anti-Trump electorate, but US law dictates that to avoid the national tax code, a person must generally give up their citizenship.

Chelsea Handler and Amy Schumer said they were moving to Spain. ‘The View’ host Raven Symone said Canada was calling. Snoop Dogg also asked about heading to America’s northern neighbor. Samuel L. Jackson promised that his new home would be South Africa. Barbra Streisand engaged to Australia. George Lopez said he would preemptively return to Mexico before Trump sends him there, and Cher said it would be time to explore interplanetary travel.
Perhaps negotiating an alternative citizenship turned out not to be the easy process that celebrities envisioned when they initially seceded from the United States. But now, there are industry professionals to help.
“There are people who are convinced that this country is full of lunatic Christian fundamentalists and good guys from the South,” said E-2 Visa Solutions founder Marc Hyman, another executive. that he helps the rich organize an international flight.
