You don't have control on where you were born. Why can't it be the country of current citizenship?
To promote assimilation and reduce dual loyalty
Born in China. Living in UK for years. Then citizen of UK for years. Now moved to US, applying for GC. Wait line will be decided based of birth country. How is this guy have dual loyalty to its birth country?
If the MSS reassigned you to the US why should the US change its laws to make it more convenient for you?
Diversity. And because a second citizenship can be bought and used as a proxy. I think Malta or some other European country will give you an immediate citizenship if you invest a certain amount of money there.
You can do this almost everywhere, even in the US. Although some countries are cheaper (it’s $1 million for the US if I recall correctly)
Difference is you invest money in the US to get US citizenship vs investing money in some other country and use this investment as a proxy to get US citizenship
Op already mentioned he/she is Chinese. Learn to read and then reply.
I’m here to write “no gc for you, start packing your shit”.
Immigration should be based on merits: how much will an immigrant contribute to the country’s economy and tax revenues; do they have resources to self sustain; can we guarantee they’ll never be a public charge; do they have a job offer in a high demand profession, etc. Of course you also need background checks to make sure they don’t have a criminal past. Country of origin doesn’t matter much unless we believe they’ll pursue an anti-American agenda on arrival.
Ideally yes, but practically no. a country of immigrants like the US should stay diverse and no ethnicity should be a majority. Think about all the favoritism going on (e.g. people of race X or country Y hire only people from same race or country).
That is why they have diversity gc
do you consider yourself a Brit? do you see yourself that you add value to the Chinese or British community in the US? I'd say thatbif during your formative years, let's say until the age of 18 you've been the majority of time in China, you're Chinese
Who are you to make a judgement on that? I am brit. Lived in UK longer than China.
I think it’s important. How else are we going to discriminate? Any other bright ideas ?
So that America doesn’t become Indochina. That’s also why we have ICE
You should try living in the big cities in California and NY. It’s already that way.
ICE is for illegal and undocumented immigrants. All employment visa workers are legal.
To rate-limit applications from India and prevent the system from crashing. Rate-limiting on an immutable characteristic is a feature, not a bug.
Making skill based immigration easy attracts people who boosts the economy. So it will benefit the US. Unlike the illegal and undocumented ones.
Becoming American is not mandatory. This is a choice most people are making (leaving room for people that have no choice), so you follow the rules of the land. If you are not happy with those rules, there are tons of countries that will be more than happy to take you and have easier processes.

Is "From the River to the Sea" So Wrong?
Because people might use current country as proxy ????
How many people do it? How is that a bad thing?
Many people do it who cannot move there directly. Its not directly a bad thing but previous people of that country did something bad or were projected bad due to politics.
