I truly do think it is too large. One thing about the U.S. that its detractors never discuss is our diversity and the issues that inevitably come from it. Yes, it is a huge strength, but we kind of suck in dealing with the drawbacks. Diversity in age, gender, race, population, geography, religion, etc. all have to be taken into account when really discussing this country.
I don't trust our government to adhere to the constitution these days. Look at how easily each party is ready to toss it aside to suit their needs. And the way the justice system has become so politicized.
I genuinely think our states should hold most of the power within their own borders, and the federal government should be more of a franchiser of sorts or an HOA. I can't claim credit for that idea though. I think someone else thought of it first.
If we were run that way, needs specific to certain areas would be a lot easier to address. The feds should help to keep all the states on the same page, but generally, should have far less power.
The 2 party system would be great if it wasn't for the people involved. I really don't know what the fix is, but I know what we currently have isn't working because it is allowing party politics to become more important than constituent needs and desires. These idiot Rs not voting for the Jan 6th commission and the idiot Ds condemning their two Senate members that don't blindly vote along party lines can all rot in hell. They are the problem. They are the anchor around this country's neck.
Would a third party resolve this? Probably not, but it might make it less prevalent?
Go here.
I have no doubt that certain parts of getting citizenship need to be fixed and made more efficient. However, that does not excuse breaking the law. I'm sorry, it doesn't.
Now if you want to setup a program where illegals can apply for temporary visa/green card/asylum status while their permanent citizenship application is worked out, I'm 100% on board with that. They must meet certain requirements, of course, but that's win-win.
Listen, I don't want to bar entry, I just want people to come here and play by the rules. (And also accept they left their old country because the politics there are shit, so maybe don't vote for them here... I'm looking at you CA transplants!) Is that really too much to ask?
And just for the record, I'd be interested in revoking citizenship status for some people born here.
