Recommendation

The United States has long thrived on innovation and entrepreneurship, attributes that lifted communities and provided them a better quality of life. But huge parts of the United States have stagnated from the aftereffects of globalization and technology. Economic consultants John Lettieri, Connor O'Brien, and Adam Ozimek offer suggestions to reinvigorate economic activity and address immigration issues. Their Heartland Visa program could prove a welcome alternative to the current burdensome visa application process, bringing in much-needed talent and offering areas of America opportunities for renewed prosperity.

Take-Aways

  • The current US visa allocation process is cumbersome and flawed. 
  • Economically disadvantaged regions in the United States could benefit from an influx of highly educated and trained professionals.
  • A Heartland Visa program could help these regions in many ways.
