The No-Brainer Issue of the Year: Let High-Skill Immigrants Stay

December 20, 2011 (1 min read)

"Behind Door #1 are people of extraordinary ability: scientists, artists, educators, business people and athletes. Behind Door #2 stand a random assortment of people. Which door should the United States open?  In 2010, the United States more often chose Door #2, setting aside about 40,000 visas for people of extraordinary ability and 55,000 for people randomly chosen by lottery. It's just one small example of our bizarre U.S. policy toward high-skill immigrants." - Prof. Alex Tabarrok, Dec. 20, 2011.
