An immigration tariff to replace the current system of quotas, restrictions, and regulations would visibly redistribute some gains from immigrants to natives, thus decreasing the perceived net costs of the welfare state by helping to cover the cost of immigration administration, and increasing government revenue. A new tariff on immigration also would increase economic growth by allowing American employers to hire the workers they demand. An immigration tariff would liberalize international labor markets, shut down most of the black market for human smuggling, and bring transparency to the immigration process.
