    so as someone without strong feelings and also who is unwilling to ever read noah why screen by country of origin instead of just determining (i) desired immigration level, and then (ii) executing an annual or w/e second-price auction for the immigration rights?

        Think of a country as being like a company. What if you hired the people who payed the most up-front?

        my framework is most analogous to natural resource allocation mechanisms are you concerned that (say) people who expect to recoup their costs by extracting welfare are likely to outbid oligarchs, tech firms, w/e?

        We can't know the potential future value of those who want to immigrate, and especially can't know the value of their descendants.

        Trying to price immigration slots in this way is like shareholder capitalism focused on quarterly earnings. It's tunnel visioned on the present.

        Logistics, bureaucratic inertia, and of course, racism. Also, I'm guessing that you better be prepared for a historically HUGE influx of Chinese money and people. Immigration is not all benefits all the time, but I believe there would be long-term gain for some short-term pain.

        I have no problem with rich Chinese people coming to the US! Bet China might tho :D Probably logistics would be dramatically lower than present, as would required bureaucracy, eeeep

        You should remain without strong opinion on this. IMO.
