While the U.S. may require that an Asian citizenship applicant entering the U.S. under the investor category should be willing to invest a million dollars as the basis of his new citizenship, the U.S. ambassador to Albania has the right to grant citizenship to a high level political defector instantaneously. At any given moment in history, there are numerous countries that, through their appointed representatives, offer instantaneous citizenships. The question then becomes how one gets the attention of the politicians, ministers, or appointed officials who can create citizenship by fiat. Additionally, since they like the cash and don t need heat from the U.S., they try to keep the programs quiet enough that people aren t breaking down the door to get in. A lot of people doing anything is news.
News is heat.
Heat is bad. Examples must be made. Policies must be changed. Doors must, regrettably senor, close. So instead of press releases, word passes by quiet conversation with people who might have need of the information.
