And these are the exact kinds of people who have to work the hardest to get a US citizenship. On average it takes an Indian citizen 10 years more than immigrants from other countries to get a US citizenship. Its equally bad for people who are born in China too.

You have to realize that these people are far less violent than the people they're competing against.

The state hands rights, exemptions and benefits only in so far as not doing so would result in violence.

If you are tame there's no reason to give you anything.

That's a much weirder explanation than the US has always had a bias in favor of European (perhaps more accurately "white") immigrants.
