Personal opinion: I think the point based systems are unfair.
For example, you get points by merely finishing college. Someone who didn’t have the opportunity to do college is not necessarily a low-skill worker neither are they less intelligent. A fairer thing will be to access people individually on their capabilities.
The US has things like the O1 visa which in my opinion is not random and more fair than most systems. But a random system is also valuable and necessary, so you need both.
- nsm 4y agoI agree they are not entirely fair. However lottery/random systems have a lot of burden of work that ends up wasted, leading employers to shy away from doing it. If you have do X amount of paperwork per candidate and there is only a 20% chance of getting through to the lottery, why do it? In the absence of enough funding and employees at USCIS to be able to individually assess people, having some kind of cutoff criteria is better than a lottery. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good.
- elvis10ten 4y agoFair point.
