Supporters of mass immigration often justify their position by assuring us that immigrants do not use welfare and are a net benefit to society, so we should welcome more of them.

TL;DR
- Mass immigration supporters claim immigrants do not use welfare and benefit society.
- These same supporters protest proposed regulations making it harder for welfare-using immigrants to gain permanent residency.
- The article argues that this presents a contradiction and that immigrants should not be allowed to have it both ways.
