Maybe you should take the time to understand American history and culture before forming opinions on those topics. Just because you don't understand the reason it exists doesn't mean there's no reason.

As an American, I love that people who love this country so much they're willing to move their family halfway around the globe to live here have the ability to do this. Absolutely I want these people to be citizens. This country was literally founded by people doing exactly this.

This ability wasn't an accident. It's not a mistake that this is possible, it's deliberately written into our constitution.

I understand American history, which is why I understand that it hasn’t been necessary for decades by this point.

You’re confusing immigration with exploiting a loophole in order to stay in the country illegally.
