Opening immigration to everyone who wants to come to America and build a life for themselves, does not mean letting absolutely everyone in. It does not mean that there cannot be screening for infectious disease and ties to criminal organizations (terrorist groups would certainly count here). It certainly does not mean giving welfare benefits to everyone who shows up penniless. Both the welfare state and current immigration controls would need to be dismantled gradually. But the welfare state would need to be taken down first.
