Immigrants no Longer were Numbers

   The Individual Immigration Authority wasn't established until 2019, bringing with it sweeping changes in immigration law in the United States -- changes that hadn't even been considered just a year earlier. While immigration reform had been discussed ad nauseam, nobody had ever proposed or even thought of these changes.
   It had always been about numbers and qualifications, quotas and requirements.
   But, no more. Now, it was about the individual. If the IIA  reviewed an individual and found no reason for not allowing entry, that person was allowed in.
   Faces instead of numbers. The IIA sat down with each person and simply decided if that person should be accepted. Everybody was decided on his or her own merits, without any set criteria.
