Argentina has introduced a 'golden passport' program offering citizenship in exchange for foreign investment, according to a New York Times report. The scheme puts the country among a growing list of nations selling residency or citizenship to wealthy foreigners. The move is drawing debate over whether such programs boost economies or undermine the value of citizenship and raise security concerns.
Why now: Argentina's decision to offer citizenship for cash is new and touches on contentious debates about immigration, investment and national identity.
