U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services administers the nation’s lawful immigration system, safeguarding its integrity and promise by efficiently and fairly adjudicating requests for immigration benefits while protecting Americans, securing the homeland, and honoring our values.
The United States is and will remain a welcoming nation that embraces people from across the world who seek family reunification, employment or professional opportunities, and humanitarian protection.

Essentially it's been edited to read like a recruitment ad more than a private property signage. Hiring outside the company because the current residents are so thoroughly disgruntled.
The new statement unveiled Wednesday by Citizenship and Immigration Services Director Ur Jaddou is symbolic but somewhat restores previous language after the agency removed a reference in 2018 to the U.S. being a “nation of immigrants."

Unless you're Native American than that's the reality for every single person here. My entire family emigrated to the United States, I am a first generation American. I like immigrants, they make America better.
And because this site is filled with dummies who like to read between lines that don't exist I'll add that I like legal immigration and I want legal immigration to be easier for all non-criminals as possible. It's onerous and cumbersome and actually may be encouraging people to try to come illegally.

Those are valid observations, but let's not overlook the simple fact that convenience of immigration just isn't a priority. It is, for all intents and purposes, a privilege. The US isn't in a position to play Noah's Ark.

That sounds like a somewhat inefficient economic model in need of being restructured.
It's the reality, it fuels our ability to generate revenue and project power.
