The complaints about national quotas are strange. The prevailing assumption that everyone outside of the US should ideally have an equal opportunity to receive permanent residency. But that's not a goal of US immigration policy.
US immigration policy is built around maintaining a diverse pool of immigrants and focusing on family reunification. Skilled labor is obviously a plus but it's of secondary concern.

They just don't necessarily agree with it, and are pointing out ways in which the current policy is detrimental to US interests in ways that likely supersede the value gained by diversifying the country of birth of potential immigrants.
