What are we going to do with all the non-working immigrants and Americans that are here now?

Cut welfare payments. Keep fighting, keep cutting. They'll either work harder to find or create jobs, or they'll go back to somewhere that the cost of living is cheaper. I'm not for opening the flood gates. I'm for controlling our borders and then bringing in enough people to do the jobs needed at the cheapest price. I am NOT for cutting off immigration in order to force me and other Americans to have to pay high prices to support ridiculously inflated wages for union workers. If someone out there is willing to do the same job for less than someone here, bring them on.

If we could get rid of the welfare state in one fell swoop, eliminating all government transfer payments, many of the anti-immigration crowd still wouldn't change their mind, they'd just find a new reason to be against it. That being said, I am for abolishing the welfare state. Lock, stock and barrel. Private charities do the same thing far better with VOLUNTARY contributions, not the "robbing Peter to pay Paul" system we currently have.

In other words you are for artificially manipulating the marketplace to give benefits to yourself.
