That is a great point. However, that solves the short term problem, but not the long term problem. Unless you can say that there will poor countries that are willing to allow limitless emigration to the US forever and the immigration solves the social/welfare problems instead of exacerbating them. Immigrants are usually poor, how are poor people going to solve welfare problems? Immigration has solved Europes population problems, but certainly not their economic/welfare ones.
