I'll give you the stock answer that anti-immigration stalwarts offer when confronted with the awful prospect of "freeloaders" raiding the pantry: "You can't run a welfare state and have open immigration!"

Well.

Which is it, a)dissolve the welfare state, or b)close the borders?

It's rather a simple choice for conservatives, isn't it?

But I suspect a slew of people who self-identify as conservatives don't really have any problem with a cradle-to-grave welfare state . . .

How about we elect someone who will do both!

Both. BTW illegals by law are not eligible for direct welfare, notice I didn't mention it. Nice try.

However, they do burn quite a bit of taxpayer dollars in other ways.

Yes it is.

How do you answer my question? No non-sequitors please.
