as i responded to dholowiski, this program would not replace other paths to citizenship. Every country should be falling over itself to bring Tesla and Lovelace into their work force and society, regardless of how similar they are to the current population.
This program would cover people like the kid who got into Harvard, but then discovers he was born 1km south instead of north of some invisible line. Or the kid who grew up admiring American society, got good grades and goes to an American University, makes lots of American, but then doesn't luck out in the visa lottery. Also, more mundane cases like Canadians who want to live in the States and vice-versa.
