Immigration tariff

Immigration tariff

An immigration tariff is a charge levied on immigrants wanting permanent residency within a nation. As a means of applying price theory to a nation's immigration policy, it is generally advocated as an alternative to existing bureaucratic procedures as a means of moderating or better regulating the flow of immigration to a given level.

The idea is frequently associated with American economist Gary Becker, who stated, "When I mention this to people, they sometimes go hysterical." [http://www.chicagogsb.edu/news/2007-04-02_Becker-bb.aspx]
