The US is a melting pot of people of all different backgrounds which shows as you can find good from all over the world, etc.
There is however not one Country that just lets just anyone in without benefiting economically from the new resident. In the form of paid taxes, spending etc.
People who are at or just above the poverty guideline will not pay into the system by paying much taxes or supporting the economy much. Mostly becoming a liability.
If family members would solely be responsible for that family member for a minimum of at least the next 15-20 years, I bet hardly any family will endorse people like that.
How would you know that? Many of our ancestors including mine didn't even come here till the early 1900's well after any conflicts with the Indians. See how that works? This was no one's country until it was established as the USA back in 1776.
This is only true in the eyes of modern settlers and immigrants. In the eyes of the Native Americans, one cannot own land... only reside on it. So it's equally valid to say that this is still no one's land.

So just because the Amerindians (who weren't native Americans) felt that way we should all adhere and comply to their beliefs in this modern day world? What makes their beliefs any more significant than ours?
President Trump is right again. Chain Immigration is dangerous and costing society too much!
Immigration properly done should be a net positive.
If America allowed itself to choose who comes ashore and who does not, America will choose those who can be the most productive. There should be no discussion of welfare for immigrants or free medical care for immigrants. Truck driver, mechanic, nuclear physicist, chemist, airline pilot or bricklayer; no one should come with no skills.
I love this policy. I actually had it way before Trump. It's like our country is a football team who had a terrible GM (Obama) who brought in all the wrong players and now Trump is changing that. You need good people to have a great country. You can't just let any bum who wins a diversity lottery in.
Chain immigration is a bad idea. We just end up with people who were not doing well in their own country.
As usual, we hear snarky comments from The Left about where we all might have come from. But it wasn't until the 20th century that government was even capable of limiting immigration. Until the 20th century, you simply came ashore and called yourself an American if that's what you wanted to do.
Famous example:
Henry Morton Stanley, who fought on both sides during The Civil War, and went on to become the "famous American reporter" and explorer who found Dr David Livingstone (Dr Livingstone, I presume?). He was actually Welsh.
Back then, it also wasn't the government forcing the citizens of the USA to pay taxes for the new immigrants to leach off of. Back then, it was the churches that opened their doors and offered immigrants a place to stay and to be schooled until they could get on their feet.
They came, overpowered the Indians, now this is THEIR country, and no one else is welcome.
See how that works ?
That is how things have always worked.
