“Poaching” Hong Kong’s Talent?
There’s an interesting, provocative idea in this article: how about offering most Hong Kongers a special visa and a path to permanent residence? His specific idea is a “place-based visa,” meaning the immigrant would have to keep his/her home within a particular community for at least 5 years but then could apply for an unrestricted U.S. green card. The U.S. has gobs of empty and underutilized housing stock in broad areas of the country. His idea doesn’t have to be limited to the U.S., though.
