I haven’t done any research into this idea, but I was thinking it could be a fair compromise to have unrestricted state visas . As in, the visa is only valid to live and work in that state. This would allow each state to flexibly respond to the labor needs of its economy each year. Then federal citizenship can be a restricted process, and limit migration to states that can’t utilize the extra labor.

But yeah they’ll probably come up with a massively insufficient increase and pretend it’s progress.
