You'll get a lot of hate for saying these things, but it's good you said them.
People really need to face reality and that our society simply cannot sustain even limited immigration if those people end up as a negative for the state in terms of financials.
The US doesn't give immigrants welfare, and they pay taxes, so that would be difficult.
False. Immigrants are eligible for various social benefits, food stamps, health care, etc.
Many recent US immigrants are asylum seekers. They do receive substantial government cash payments and free housing (i.e. welfare). I am generally pro immigration, but let's be clear about the cost.

Your perception does not make anything a reality. Many nations commit more to immigration and welfare than the US, and are benefiting from it.
Skilled migrants bring wealth with them, and in fact countries like Australia have avoided recession through immigration (and unemployment is still around 4%).
I’m certain that absolutely no one is referring to “skilled migrants” when participating in these discussions of limiting immigration.
