Because it would be another big government program, would the feds pick and choose which communities would be targeted for the influx of immigrants, as has been done with refugee programs?
Buttigieg and advocates for similar programs have not shared details on how the programs would be administered. In announcing his proposal during a New Hampshire campaign stop, Buttigieg kept the discussion at the macro level.
I’m proposing what we call “Community Renewal Visas” that when a community that is very much in need of growing its population, recognizes that, and makes a choice to welcome more than its share of new Americans that we create a fast-track, if they apply for an allotment of visas, that goes to those who are willing to be in those areas that maybe are hurting for population but have great potential.
Buttigieg also hinted at support for a proposal by Republican Senator Mike Lee of Utah who advocates a H-1B visa program that would favor only Indian nationals desired by high technology firms.
Apparently, there are factions in both major political parties eager to do the bidding of large business interests at the expense of taxpayers.
