The problem is a welfare system that encourages lazy Americans not to work.

We'll, there's so much more to this great country that makes it attractive than it's welfare system. It's still the land of opportunity, despite those that want to slam it's doors closed. However, it would be interesting to do away with welfare for ALL and watch the hate filled anti-immigrants have to find a new straw man to beat.

Actually we just want to slam the door to illegal immigration. The United States still lets in about one million LEGAL immigrants a year. As long as a foreigner comes to the United States legally, I have no problem with that.

Unfortunately, you're now starting with the name-calling. How self-defeating of you. If you have a good argument for your position, you wouldn't need to resort to that.
