While I agree on the need to eliminate welfare, I don't think that will end immigration, or even reduce it as, contrary to popular belief, Immigrants use Welfare and social programs LESS than your average American and studies have shown this, they contribute far more to the eocnomy then they take out and if they stopped coming it would hurt all Americans. IMHO
You obviously haven't checked the FAIR website to see how much the illegals in your state are costing. They send their money back to their home countries, and US taxpayers pick up the bills for their hospitalization, education of their kids, and incarceration of millions of them in our jails. Illegals are not an asset to any state's economy.
