Increasing immigration is one of the best forms of effective altruism. We should expand existing visa programs (EB, F, DV) to accept millions more immigrants per year. I call this idea Effective Immigration. Here's my whole post (2,554 words): neilthanedar.com/effective-i…

Visa process is a joke (source: have E2 & now L1 visa), extremely slow & complex, would not be able to navigate without attorney

One fun counterproductive way to convince Americans of your preferred policy is to say “you’ll regret this and need us really bad!!” If you actually cared about getting your desired result you wouldn’t step on the toes of American pride

High-skilled immigration is one of the lowest hanging fruits, and the US is massively fucking this up. We have an extremely talented engineer we've been trying to bring to the US for almost 8 months now without much luck.

One of the historical pillars for USA to be The supreme economic power used to be trained brains import and diversity import through many migratory stages. It did kept the entrepreneurial spirit and the influx of young demographics to push growth.

It’s and economic issue also, demographically USA is getting older and the influx of younger generations is not replacing in numbers the outflow of baby boomers, it’s a serious issue. One of the ways USA reached its 1st superpower status was immigration.
