Citzenship For Sale? (Non-U.S. Viewpoint)

What if the United States began charging for the legal right to immigrate? Nobel Laureate Gary Becker (University of Chicago, Graduate School of Business) came up with the idea.

The idea is to upend the existing black market that exacts a high price for illegal immigrants -- some who pay with their lives.
