I agree with you that people abuse their citizenships.

well, if someone went to all that trouble to become a US citizen, why the frick is some other place coming first in their mind?
This is because they simply come to the US to make MONEY as I mentioned earlier. They don't care about patriotism or freedom or voting. They want to make MONEY.
The US is a melting pot. When you immigrate to the US, they expect you to become American in almost every way. They don't really encourage multi-culturalism etc. So many of the foreigners will make lots of MONEY for some time and they move back home or to somewhere else where they can find people of their culture.
Personally, I know lots of people that I work with who spent time in the US making MONEY and after awhile, they moved to Canada to enjoy the cultural mosiac that exists here. In Canada, they're able to find more of their people's infrastructure, while it be temples, support Groups etc, so it's similiar to where they came from, but with all the benefits of a first world country.
People also come to Canada just to make MONEY as well, and when they've done so - they just move back to wherever they're from with all their savings. Taking, but not giving back to the country that gave them all their opportunities.
In happens in both places often (Canada and US), but I think most foreigners see US as the place to make the MOST MONEY - or so they tell me.
