Our situation is not our fault because we were real young but cmon this can't be going on forever. We need to fix the immigration system.

Chain Migration - aka family migration - if anything is broken because of the backlog and 'aging out' because of the backlog (yes I'm still bitter that I aged-out. I was 15 when my parents filed the petition and 27 when they finally received their green card). In order to bring your cousin in you would need to first sponsor your parent as a citizen (so there's that wait) and then they'd need to sponsor a sibling (takes +10 years) and then their children (your cousins) have to hope they don't age-out in the mean time (or that's an additional +6 years). People are not pouring into the country via this system. It's impossible with the wait.
