While at one point it was a way to protect people that were building this country, it's now become a loophole for people with illegitimate intentions to cheat their way into our already established society. America is and always will be open to immigration, but we should stand firm in admitting citizenship only to people who have something positive to offer to our way of life, and those who are willing to become American through the legal processes. Not just those that want to ride tax money in a more wealthy nation than their own.
