Other than people banned from entry for personal reasons rather than numerical caps (crime, etc.), I agree, thet should have a free choice to come.
Regulate quantity to mitigate impact via fees in place of caps (for the visa categories that currently have caps), with a share of the fees going to states and localities in proportion to the resident alien population settled there, with lower fees in the “higher preference” categories.
And have a catch-all immigrant visa category (lowest preference/highest fee) for anyone not banned but not in any other immigrant category.
(I’d probably also eliminate H-1B and several other visa categories entirely, because they would no longer be necessary.)
