Effective Immigration

This is Solution #6 on my list of The World's Biggest Problems.

Idea: Make it easy to immigrate to places where we need more people.

1. Create fast tracks to immigration for young graduates and professionals.

  • Offer EB1 visas to every founder funded by a US startup accelerator.

  • Expand EB2 (employment-based) visa eligibility to anyone with a STEM degree.

2. Increase annual international student visas by 10X+.

  • End all caps on student visas for international students (e.g. F1).

  • Create a clear legal path for F1 graduates to earn a Green Card.

3. Offer place-based visa programs to recruit immigrants to shrinking regions.

  • Expand the Diversity Visa program to accept 1M+ immigrants per year in specific areas.

  • The DV program currently has 10M+ applicants per year for only 50,000 spots.

Here's The Whole Post:

Idea: Make it easy to immigrate to places where communities need more people. Prove that effective immigration is morally right and economically sound.
