You're not a libertarian if you don't support open borders. Open immigration is a libertarian policy.
What he says is right. Our welfare system isn't geared for immigrants. It's for the elderly.

The thing about myths is that facts don't have much impact.
I've met people that still think rubbing a wart with a potato and burying it will get rid of the wart.
If the potato don't work, I believe Huckleberry said you need to fetch a dead cat. I do not recall what he said you do with the dead cat (rub it against the wart?) but I know a dead cat is involved somehow.
If you don't have a dead cat, I imagine a rat will do, in a pinch.
What a lame, stupid statement that means absolutely nothing.

He quotes no numbers, no actually studies, no anything. So if "some think" that 90% of immigrants use welfare and the actual number is only 70% that means the problem isn't real?
Once again, libertarianism is proven to be the only thing that makes sense...
