That gets to Milton Friedman's point about open borders being incompatible with a welfare state. I'd prefer the peaceful immigrants to the welfare state.
I think the problem is that the USA is trying to take on too much. I do believe they could simplify immigration. But I also believe people need to be responsible for themselves.

The immigration proposal I like the most is the sponsorship idea. Basically, if a legal resident invites you (job offer, rental agreement, visiting family, etc), then you're welcome to come, but whoever invited you assumes responsibility for you while you're here.

Yes, I also believe in this idea. Less problems would happen.
