Not sure how anything you've claimed is terrible. Yes to assess language proficiency people are tested both with a written and verbal exam. How is that terrible? What other means of assessing someone's language proficiency do you have in mind that is better than a written and verbal test?

Also your other points all involve breaking the law, which yes someone can absolutely commit a crime to gain an advantage assuming they don't get caught. I'm not sure how you expect any immigration system to operate other than by having rules and if those rules are broken having penalties for breaking them.

The main criticism I have about the U.S. system of immigration, and why I think Canada does it better is that in the U.S. in the majority of cases your immigration status is often tied to a specific job and if you lose that job you're done. I find that rather disgusting to be honest even if it attracts "hustlers" and "bad asses" as you claim.
