The world's best have chosen America for over 250 years.
Secure borders + smart legal pathways. A 20-million-worker legal pathway and a work authorization ID tied to the driver's license most Americans already carry — the highest-consensus immigration reform on the table.
The world's best have chosen America for over 250 years.
Immigrants Create Jobs and Grow America
Immigrants generate $2.1 trillion in US GDP — 18% of national output despite being 14.3% of the population. 46% of Fortune 500 companies were founded by immigrants or their children. Immigrants don't steal jobs. They create them. The competition is in Beijing, not at the border.
The Economic Case
The 20M legal pathway over 15 years isn't generosity — it's arithmetic. $6 trillion in economic advantage over mass deportation. $4.64 trillion in deficit reduction. Social Security extended by 7–8 years through FICA contributions from 20M legal workers.
Win the Global Race for Talent
Canada committed $1.2 billion to recruit scientists. The EU launched a €500M “Choose Europe” program. Ten countries are actively running programs to hire the engineers America trained. The Scientist Fast-Lane fixes this: 12-month permanent residency, same-day family, backlog eliminated.
No Legal ID. No Legal Job.
Legal workers need a legal credential. The Majority ID System ties national work authorization to the state driver's license — which ~90% of working-age Americans already carry — with an expiration date that drives renewal and re-verification. Federal law requires employers to check it at hire: no ID, no job. No new federal database, no new agency — just a work-authorization field on a card Americans already carry. 68% bipartisan support.
| The 5 Legal Pathways | Goal (15yr) |
|---|---|
| STEM & High-Skilled Workers | 5M — competing for global talent |
| Agricultural & Essential Workers | 4M — backbone of food supply |
| Healthcare Workers | 3M — physician & nurse fast-lane |
| Skilled Trades & Shipbuilding | 4M — housing + industrial capacity |
| Entrepreneurs, Family, Military | 4M — job creators + service |
| The Majority ID System | Mechanism |
|---|---|
| Built on state driver's license | ~90% coverage, already issued |
| Mandatory at hire (employer check) | No ID = no job |
| Expiration date | Drives renewal + re-verification |
| New federal database required | None — no new agency |
| Bipartisan public support | 68% across party lines |
| The Economic Case | |
|---|---|
| Immigrant GDP contribution | $2.1T — 18% of US output |
| 20M pathway vs. deportation | +$6T economic advantage |
| Deficit reduction (20M pathway) | −$4.64T over 15 years |
| Social Security extension | +7–8 years of solvency |
| Fortune 500 immigrant-founded | 46% of companies |
| Countries recruiting US scientists | 10 active programs globally |
Secure borders, smart legal pathways — five moves to expand the economy by $6 trillion.
A 15-year, 5-route legal pathway to 20 million workers: STEM & high-skilled (5M), agricultural & essential (4M), healthcare (3M), skilled trades & shipbuilding (4M), and entrepreneurs/family/military service (4M). The math beats mass deportation by $6 trillion, cuts the federal deficit by $4.64 trillion over 15 years, and extends Social Security solvency by 7–8 years through FICA contributions. This is not generosity — it is arithmetic.
Canada just committed $1.2 billion to recruit scientists. The EU launched a €500M "Choose Europe" program. Ten countries are actively running pipelines to hire the engineers America trained. The Scientist Fast-Lane: 12-month permanent residency for PhDs in critical fields, same-day family visas, and the green-card backlog eliminated. The competition is in Beijing — we cannot let Ottawa, Brussels, and Seoul poach the talent we already educated.
No new federal database. No new agency. A work-authorization credential built on top of the state driver's license system — which already covers ~90% of working-age Americans — with a verifiable expiration date that drives renewal and re-check. Federal law requires employers to verify the ID at hire: no ID, no job. One mechanism that eliminates the economic incentive for illegal entry, gives every lawful immigrant a clear status employers can trust, and carries the highest-consensus immigration reform on the table — 68% bipartisan support.
People brought here as children who call America home should be able to earn permanent legal status and citizenship. The bar is clear: a high school diploma or GED, criminal and security background checks, and productive participation through work, higher education, vocational training, or military service. The House passed a version three times — 2010, 2019, and 2021 — and the Senate never finished the job. You weren't responsible for being brought here as a child, but becoming an American should be something you earn: an independent solution to what Washington has failed to resolve for two decades.
A three-year work visa aimed squarely at the critical industries running short of people: shipbuilding, construction, technology, robotics, advanced manufacturing, and the skilled trades. Four requirements, no exceptions — a clean criminal record, English proficiency, demonstrated experience in the field, and an employer sponsor with a real job waiting. It plugs into the same E-Verify licensing system as the national work-authorization ID, so status is checkable at every hire, and it extends by two years for anyone who applies for citizenship. Targeted, time-bound, and tied to a documented shortage rather than running on autopilot for decades.
