You started with exhortations that if they are not coming here then we should be paying for their welfare there.
Then you go on to say it wouldn't matter at all if we did not help them here.
What are you suggesting that we have a state run economy for countries that are not even our own??
I'm suggesting that your welfare system is unimpressive even for your own citizens.
It's more likely that they want more opportunity/safety/freedom than is what available in their home country. So if their home countries were to improve on those aspects, there would be less reason to immigrate to the US.
I'm from a Western Europe. You couldn't pay me to live in the US, my friend.
