>Well history suggests some answers to that question
Such as? American Natives arguably fared rather poorly with immigration. What other examples did you have in mind? Other countries don't seem keen on immigration. Is South Africa encouraging Europeans to come over? Mexico and a lot of Latam have difficult immigration laws. Hell I ended having to pay a few thousand dollars to have my Canadian daughter leave Guatemala because she overstayed her visa despite her mother being a citizen. Imagine the outrage if the US started applying fines to be able to leave!
>but they don’t have a solution, period.
Isn't it automation plus very very limited purpose-specific visas?
A non-American can not tell Americans what should be the their immigration policy but will always point out the fact that the immigration policy is racist and mostly formulated by minority of white conservatives. Whether it is good or bad is a separate issues. For example every American company is happy to employ non-Americans it is mostly no-skin-in-the-game bible belt politicians creating problems for them.

Will ask my employer to pay for it every-time I leave USA for India. American shareholders will pay for it. At the moment my employer pays me competitive salary and also spends around $10k per 3 year in visa renewals. Harassment of immigrants gets passed down to American public as reduced shareholder value.
