“Merit-Based” Immigration: Trump Proposal Would Dramatically Revamp Immigrant Selection Criteria, But with Modest Effects on Numbers

The Trump administration’s plan to create a "merit-based" U.S. immigration system, lessening the longstanding focus on family reunification in favor of more economic migrants, has met with a lackluster response from Democrats and Republicans alike. This Policy Beat article explores how the Trump proposal would reshape immigration to the United States, and how it compares to selection systems in other countries and past debates about changing the U.S. system.

Rethinking U.S. Immigration Policy: New Realities Call for New Answers

The U.S. immigration system is in desperate need of an overhaul. What has been missing is an alternate vision for a path forward that treats immigration as a strategic resource while also accounting for heightened security and rule-of-law imperatives, which together can further U.S. interests, values, and democratic principles as a society. This concept note outlines a new MPI initiative, Rethinking U.S. Immigration Policy, that seeks to fill this gap.

[ Cell Phones & Plans ] Open Question : What is the closest android equivalent to the 1st generation iPhone SE?

I am torn, I know it is time to upgrade my phone, but I don't know whether to upgrade to just accept the larger phone size and go with the 2nd gen SE or go with an android. I'd be interested to know what the closest equivalent android device there is to the 1st gen SE. I am open to a bigger screen size, but not a bigger phone. So, if there was an andriod that was all screen on the front, but was similar size to the original SE, I would be open to that.
