Without additional streams of immigrants looking to resettle, per-country caps on immigration and an eventual lack of interested, qualified candidates from high-admission countries would set the U.S. The Diversity Visa program plays an important role in the long-term strategy for maintaining the competitiveness of the U.S. to serve as a global magnet for the best and brightest-because without it, as history shows us, highly-skilled individuals remain at home. “Thus, the DV system creates the necessary preconditions for the U.S. “Lottery spots create flows of immigrants from new sources those immigrants then begin to create ethnic goods and services, including information networks, attractive enough to help pull the highly skilled into the U.S.,” writes Kennedy. In an article for the Stanford Law Review, Patrick Kennedy makes the economic case for the Diversity Visa category. (For example, see this study for the National Foundation for American Policy (NFAP) by economist Madeline Zavodny.) A court filing against the proclamation cited this April 21, 2020, article I wrote analyzing the lack of an economic justification for the presidential proclamation.
Moreover, economists have found no evidence that the entry of immigrants increases the U.S. The proclamation claimed Diversity Visa recipients and other immigrants needed to be blocked due to unemployment, even though the Trump administration tried to eliminate the same immigration categories in the Senate when the U.S.
Senate rejected measures nearly identical to the April 2020 proclamation in a White House-designed bill on a 60-39 vote on a “cloture motion”. The proclamation attempted to use the Covid-19 crisis to accomplish what the Trump administration could not achieve through legislation. (Those who believe Donald Trump only opposed illegal immigration should recall this proclamation.) On April 22, 2020, Donald Trump stopped all Diversity Visa (DV) applicants from entering the United States by including them in a presidential proclamation that blocked nearly all immigrants from America.
