Tangentially the US immigration system also has "legacy admissions" (called family based immigration)


Not going to the same college as your parents is not in the same league as not being able to live in the same country.

As does US citizenship


Yeah Americans should be able to bring their parents to the US, they should be able to bring their kids, their SPOUSE ans sponser their siblings.

In addition a rich person should be able to BUY the GREEN CARD OUTRIGHT at a SET price the investor process is so tiring just set the price and sell it without this investor stuff which wastes time because people what to do other things with the money just set a price that goes straight to the IRS and get the green card mailed.


> just set the price and sell it without this investor stuff

Another idea is not to set an arbitrary fixed price, but to auction green cards off, with a limited annual cap. So the market would decide the price (the highest bidder wins).
