NEW AMERICAN
ECONOMY/
Five Principles to Modernize the Immigration System
The 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act brought a Depression Era immigration system into a post -
World War II, Civil Rights age. Longstanding racial quotas were abandoned in favor of a system that
strove for equality and focused on reuniting families and, to a lesser extent, meeting workplace needs.
Nearly half a century has passed since 1965. What was modern in an age before the VCR, the heart
transplant, or the moon landing is antiquated in a digital age marked by instantaneous access to
information and the rise of a global marketplace. The US immigration system is once again outmoded,
outdated, and ill-equipped for the demands of a modern society.
The 1965 reform was a big advance for families and for equality. America is long overdue for an
equally significant overhaul to advance our economy. As the 113th Congress takes up the call for
reform, the Partnership for a New American Economy offers five principles that are essential to a •
modern immigration system.
1) Attracting and retaining the world's top innovators and entrepreneurs: America's economy
acts as a magnet to the innovators and creative minds of the world. More than 40 percent of
Fortune 500 companies were founded by an immigrant or a child of an immigrant, and more
than three out of every four patents (76%) that the top ten US universities received in 2011 had
an immigrant inventor. But our immigration laws inhibit new businesses and new discoveries by
turning entrepreneurs and inventors away, often after we have trained them in our universities. A
modern immigration system would promote innovation and entrepreneurship by:
a. Granting visas to scientists, technology graduates, engineers, mathematicians, and
other innovators, especially those who train at top US universities.
b. Creating a Startup Visa for entrepreneurs who want to come to the United States, start.
businesses, and hire US workers, especially if they have US investors to back their
ideas.
c. Expanding the use of the EB-5 investor visa to draw more foreign direct investment into
the United States to spur business growth.
2) Recruiting talented workers needed to fill gaps in high- and low -skilled sectors of the
economy: In an increasingly specialized and globalized economy, the skills that American
companies demand are increasingly out of line with the skills American workers have. The US
government estimates that there are more than 3.5 million unfilled jobs in the US, even with high
unemployment. Shortages are especially pronounced in both labor-intensive industries like
farming, landscaping, and meatpacking, and in high -skilled industries requiring advanced
degrees. In concert with reforming our educational and vocational training systems, a modern
immigration system would increase America's competitiveness by:
a. Removing hard and fast quotas for high- and low -skilled workers and replacing them
with flexible visa allotments that respond to changes in workforce need.
b. Creating a viable guest worker program so that technology companies, farms, hotels,
and other industries can more easily find temporary workers to fill specific employment
needs.
c. Expanding the number of employment -based visas that are issued each year. Currently
just 7 percent of all green cards are given for employment based reasons.
3) Bringing 11 million undocumented immigrants into the legal economy so they can pay
taxes, attain better education, and contribute more to US economic growth: America's
broken immigration system has allowed 11 million undocumented immigrants to work in the
black market and has discouraged millions of bright; hard-working, and high -performing children
from completing college and contributing to the economy. Granting legal status to the "DREAM
Act" eligible undocumented immigrants would create 1.4 million jobs and generate more than
$329 billion in economic activity over 20 years. Granting legal status to all undocumented
immigrants would yield even greater economic benefits. A modern immigration system would
maximize the productivity of currently undocumented workers by:
a. Providing a path to work legally, pay taxes, and contribute to the economy for
undocumented workers in the country.
4) Developing a state-of-the-art system to ensure immigration laws are enforced and
obeyed: An immigration system is ineffective if immigration laws are not enforced and obeyed.
But. from border security to workplace enforcement, our immigration system relies on analog
tools in a digital age. A modern immigration system would leverage technology by:
a. Monitoring who is in our country after they cross the border or land at port of entry, as
well as who leaves the United States.
b. Ensuring that workplaces obey the laws and only hire legal workers.
5) Ensuring that the immigration system is easy to understand, easy to navigate, and easy
to implement: In a modern immigration system, obtaining a visa to come work, buy American
products, or open a business that will hire workers would not take weeks, cost hundreds or
thousands of dollars, or involve a complicated and painful bureaucratic process often involving
two or more agencies. A modern immigration system would be easy to understand, easy to
navigate, and easy to implement, and would ensure that:
a. Tourist and employment visa applicants interact with no more than one agency to obtain
a visa.
b. Employers who have successfully hired foreign workers in the past be provided a fast
track to processing rather than having to prove their eligibility each and every time.
c. Visa applications are processed quickly and without undue expense.
