The US needs:
(1) To be strict and strong on illegal immigration.
(2) To be welcoming, courteous, gracious, flexible, understanding, and helpful otherwise.

Unhindered immigration was part of the recipe of success for approx. 92% of the lifetime of the US. What changed?
They got extra-greedy and fascist.
The system is designed that everyone is suspected of wanting to overstay their welcome in God's Most Graciously Developed Country in the World. Even funny scenarios where they do that to people coming from Switzerland or the like :-)
I'm not sure how this works for American citizens, but almost every interaction with embassy personnel and definitely with personnel at airports and such, feels.
Its funny how far from truth this is. Go and compare better parts of US with with Switzerland for example. Now compare worse parts of both. Literally any aspect - cleaniness, nature, society, personal freedom, criminality, development, public transport, access to education, healthcare and so on and on.
