Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed filmmaker Warren D. Robinson (image below).
On a recent Price of Business show, Host Kevin Price interviewed Warren D. Robinson, They discussed:
President Donald Trump is offering a so-called “gold” card (which is actually a green card) to foreigners who invest $5 million into the country. The gold cards will offer a path to citizenship and Trump touted the program at his speech before Congress. “It’s extremely hypocritical,” says attorney, executive and producer Warren D. Robinson, “for a man who ran on keeping as many people as possible out of the country; who has made no effort to create a path of citizenship for the dreamers or the migrants who came in this country. It’s quite hypocritical to create a program that will welcome, by his own words, potentially millions of people. That makes it clear it was about the type of people he wanted to keep out.” Robinson also casts doubt on the gold cards legality. “The gold cards replace the EB-5 visa which required a $1million investment ($800,000 in rural communities) and the creation of at least 10 jobs and was passed with Congressional approval. Trump does not have the authority to change a law passed by Congress with executive action. Furthermore, Congress has, by law, capped the number of people who can receive the visa.” Robinson is quick to point out that just because the law is illegal by executive action doesn’t mean it is necessarily a bad idea. “There may be some merit to such a program.” Says Robinson, “but it needs to be done the legal way. Trump is not a king who can just sell citizenship into the country. If he wants a gold card program, republicans control both houses of Congress so do it legally.”
According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’
