"Professor Stephen Yale-Loehr of Cornell Law School and his coauthor Mackenzie Eason will unveil “Recruiting for the Future: A Realistic Road to a Points-Tested Visa Program in the U.S.,” a report proposing a pilot points-based immigration program based on new research. Given that President Trump has recently signaled renewed interest in a merit-based immigration system, the report is especially timely.
