I would be happy to end welfare and put poor people who are sponging off it to work. As things are now, and as they will be, it is impossible to deport lazy Americans no matter how much you or I might want too.

Once a poor person is a citizen we are stuck with them. I want them to stop being a burden on me and other taxpayers so I think it is in my enlightened self-interest to help them stop being poor. I want them to earn a good wage and that is not going to happen as long as we keep flooding the labor market with an infinite supply of additional poor people willing to work for low poverty wages. And all those poor immigrants bus boys end up sponging off the public largess in one way or another, whether it is free health care, food stamps for their anchor babies or the earned income tax credit.

Poverty is already a big problem in America. I see no reason to import more of it. It makes no sense to me.

Nah jack, IMO and with your rhetoric, you want to deport the hard working people, especially the people with Spanish surnames, again JMO.
