I reckoned immigration would be the low hanging fruit and am more interested in your justification on the other three.

With regards to immigration, I see 2 plausible three perspectives, while admitting that we could multiply those three ways Americans look at and argue about immigration.

1. We have the H-1b laws which require a worker to have skills in demand but not available among the USA worker population. This is often used in high tech jobs. We have H-2a visas for foreigners interested in performing farm labor. These and other temporary visas are available but people do use them for a spring board to long term immigration. There are also permanent worker visas. Then there is the general quota immigration system that permits foreign immigrants who desire to move here and become fully functioning American citizens.

2. There is the higher good perspective of Globally pluralistic society, which is probably attractive to you. This is allow immigration whether or not particular immigrants provide a utilitarian benefit to the US, even when the costs outweigh the benefits to the US, in an effort to even out the suffering in the world.

3. The ridiculous partisan bickering over the topic of immigration
