I just watched a Milton Friedman clip in which he stated convincingly that unfettered immigration, leading to naturalization, was only viable in the early 20th century because there was NO free gravy train as there is today. Therefore, that model doesn’t work. The welfare state and immigration together will destroy a country.

EXACTLY. Friedman was in fact very PRO-immigration theoretically. As you said, he knew it was disastrous in our welfare state.
