Why should we have programs that specifically allow wealthy people to cut the line?

Because this program generates $1-5mm of revenue per person in addition to whatever spending and investment that person brings to the country.

It's perhaps "unfair" but it's also extremely pragmatic.

There already was such a system with more concrete requirements. It is called the EB5 visa and has a path to green card. What does this new method bring to the table?
It lacked Trump's face and branding.
And where is this money going?
