    It's 2018, @robinhanson, why haven't economists even begun to explore the pros and cons of a policy of requiring all immigrants to be financially insured against potential harms they may cause the American people? http://takimag.com/article/immigration_insurance_steve_sailer/print#axzz5MnGp0WZz …https://twitter.com/robinhanson/status/1025937723151056897 …

    I do see one of the advantages of crime insurance that it could assure skeptics like you of the low risk of particular immigrants. Instead of the usual policy of insisting that we trust all locals, & creating a reason to exclude the suspicious from being local.

        I'm here exploring related ideas with you. What do you think of requiring crime insurance of the locals as well? Then there'd be less reason to distinguish between locals & immigrants.

        Locals (native born citizens) are our fellow Americans so we are stuck with each other, good, bad, and indifferent. If a American can't earn enough to pay for his crime insurance premiums, well, we're all in this together. But a foreigner who is a bad bet ... isn't ours.

        I don't see why I'd want to be in "this" together with someone who has such a high risk of crime that they can't afford crime insurance premiums, even given strong monitoring and punishment terms. Exile seems a reasonable option in such a situation.

        If you favor a death penalty in extreme cases, you should favor exile in less extreme cases.

        Exile is great, yes please, but not for.. not being able to afford crime insurance.

        My high status PhD dissertation adviser did suggest that we auction off immigration slots. No one outside of econ took this seriously.

        Even better: We let rich foreigners ‘buy out’ the citizenship of Americans who could then relocate to other nations. Could take a % of their earnings or lump cash payment.

        A friend of mine runs a web based business and lives in Thailand. Spends $25k/yr to live very, very well. Per person the city of San Fransisco spends more than that warehousing the homeless on the streets. This is how a globalist welfare state should work, frankly.

        Fairly easy to measure many of the economic positives from immigration, but it's much more difficult to measure the negative externalities. Easy to act like anything that can't be measured doesn't exist.

        How about allowing citizens to sue the US government for any personal damages caused by a legal or illegal immigrant? Give the people responsible for enforcing the laws more incentive to enforce the laws.

        Insuring foreigners is hard. Maybe get the Ex-Im Bank involved!

        Hanson's argument is just another twist on the notion that sovereignty confers no rights or privileges that should not be extended to the entire world. A merit-based immigration filter would (requiring audit-worthy financial resources and education) address the problem anyway.
