Our current bishop in RI didn't even come originally from the U.S. so I am not sure what is the fuss all about.  No diocese is guaranteed that their bishop will come from their own diocese, anywhere in the world.

That being said, I am for all the lay people, of every diocese, being allowed to vote for their bishops from their own diocesan priests, in the future, but that needs to be allowed for all diocese everywhere, and not only some diocese in order to be fair.  This would also take a synod to discuss and change the rules. Hopefully, one that includes half women and a good portion of lay people.
