 A lot of libertarians are concerned about the welfare state and immigration. They think that immigrants overly use the welfare state. They crowd onto it. They are net fiscal drains on the U.S. government. And there's really very little evidence of this. Immigrants, even legal immigrants, don't have access to many welfare programs in the United States ever since the welfare reformat in 1996. Most immigrants who are even eligible for these programs don't take advantage of them. Now there's a lot of reasons for that. Immigrants are self-selected to be more mobile and more interested in working in the United States and the people they leave behind. That's why they're willing to move thousands of miles to come here. But it's also just because the American welfare state is not set up to help people who are poor immigrants. The American welfare state is set up to help elderly women who are sick on average. The average migrant is young, healthy, and male. So there's already a fundamental disconnect in that way. And all the studies that show migrant use of the welfare state, they underuse it relative to Americans who are the same age, same income, same amount of education, et cetera. And they assimilate very well into that, into the American society and that way later generations. If you have a problem with the welfare state and immigration, the answer is reforming welfare, not cunning legal immigration.
