Of course there's a *big* difference between the kind of immigrants you
get when you say 'hey, come over here and we'll give you lots of welfare
money for doing nothing' and when you say 'hey, come over here, but if you
can't find work we won't help you'. We're talking about the latter case,
and you're talking about the former.
