I think it misses one of the most important changes – the increasing barriers placed on employment based immigration, including limiting employment sponsorships to ONLY workers where the employer could prove they could not find a qualified US citizen to do that job. That aspect largely closes the employment sponsorship route, so that the vast majority of immigrants now come via family sponsorship.

All I can say about not being able to find qualified citizens is “HA”. Anyone in the tech industry knows how often those requirements are gamed. If they don’t tailor the job requirements to a single candidate they already have, they’ll make them impossible to fulfill (10 years experience with something that’s only existed for 2) or simply round file all the citizen resumes after a token interview.

I think it also misses out on the difficulty of immigration in the historical past. The expense and risk of getting here weeded out many undesirables before they started. The restrictions increased as the risk and danger dropped. When there is more than a 10% risk of dying on the Atlantic voyage many won’t try. When the expense is such that many did indentured servitude to pay for the voyage many won’t try. Current levels of safety and affordability have a lot to do with the current debate.
