I guess the rubric depends on whether policymakers view the employment based green card system as zero-sum or non-zero-sum.
My proposal for green cards:
zero-sum - points based system based on your current salary, taxes paid and the occupation shortage list OR straight up auction
non-zero-sum - let people apply for a green card as long as they've stayed in the country for X years without any criminal infractions, have earned above N*min-wage for all those years.
If you're asking about work visas, probably just ranking by location-adjusted-salary and handing them out should do the job.
- Mountain_Skies 3y agoWho creates the occupation shortage list and how is it protected from companies who want their jobs included on it to drive down wages and suppress workers' rights?
- vsskanth 3y agoDOL does it. It's called the Schedule A Occupation List. The problem is they don't update it constantly like Canada does. Needs funding I guess. https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-e-chapter-7#footnote-1 https://www.uscis.gov/policy-manual/volume-6-part-e-chapter-...
