Principles of Immigration Reform

Executive Summary

A policy framework outlining comprehensive reform of the U.S. immigration system will emerge from these guiding principles. Building on the four main pillars explored above — enforcement, admissions, rights, and values — a holistic reorientation of the U.S. immigration system comes into view.

Immigration policy decisions, like all policy considerations, necessarily require normative judgments. Even the strongest evidence about the effects of immigration policy is politically inert without underlying normative principles. Sharing the principles that guide our policy considerations and rec­ommendations allows us to identify unlikely allies and continue to strengthen relationships we have with those guided by similar principles or policy goals. This document discusses Niskanen’s principles of immigration reform:

For 50-75 years.
Assimilate what we have -- IF that's even possible, at this stage of the game.
