TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue for a new U.S. immigration policy that would auction visas to the highest bidder, arguing that this system would benefit the United States by allowing entry to high economic producers thereby providing monetary profit to the U. S. treasury.
Abstract: The author argues for a new U.S. immigration policy that would auction visas to the highest bidder. He contends that this system would benefit the United States by allowing entry to high economic producers thereby providing monetary profit to the U.S. treasury. In comparing the current U.S. immigration admission policy with the proposed auction system the author concludes that "in addition to providing economic benefits to Americans an auction is less arbitrary and thus fairer than the existing policy as well as most alternative policies short of open immigration."
