There’s an objection to open immigration that holds that immigrants should be restricted from entry to prevent their over-reliance on government assistance. (I support open immigration, establishing restrictions only on those who represent a danger to others.)
In fact, objections to immigrants’ use of government programs is really an objection to government spending, generally.
That’s a sensible and solid objection: citizens are already too reliant of government support. A smaller state would benefit everyone, and simultaneously remove an objection to open immigration.
