Auctioning quotas to the highest bidder ensures that those who value the quota the most will be the ones to receive it. This promotes efficiency as it goes to those who can use it effectively and allows the government to generate revenue by selling it to the highest bidder. Conducting a lottery or allowing Congress to apportion quotas may result in individuals who cannot utilize the quota effectively receiving it, leading to inefficiency. Restricting quotas on the basis of protected status is also not a fair or efficient way to distribute them.
