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?
this isnt really ancap-y, just: if we're going to have immigration of a certain number of people, why bother with clunky methods for selecting those people when we have elegant methods for distributing such rights call it a varying immigration fee if that preserves sacredness :)
