If you could reform the immigration system in one way, how would you do it? Would you say that US immigration is currently broken for tech workers?
Also, how does US immigration compare to other countries, such as the UK, Canada, or Germany? Is it easier to immigrate or harder?
- bubblethink 3y agoUS immigration is broken beyond repair. Hard to summarize all the issues in an HN comment, but you may find some of Cato's work on this relevant (e.g., https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/why-legal-immigration-nearly-impossible https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/why-legal-immigration-n...). Briefly, US immigration has little to no concept of merit. The simple (in theory but hard legislatively) fixes are to make it a lot more like a points based system that favours a combination of skill/education/wages instead of race or country of origin and on the worker rights front removes all dependence on the employer for immigration.
