Poor immigrants vote for them because they are poor (duh, who benefits).
Even rich immigrants, who are mostly Asian, come from rather statist and conformist cultures where the government is expected to run a robust welfare state and meddle in the economy. In Bryan's thread an Asian immigrant even spells this out for all of us.
Immigrants don't vote for Dems/Welfare State because of immigration policy or rhetoric. If anything, harsh immigration rhetoric helps the GOP with many immigrants. They vote as they do because they genuinely want America to be a more leftist society, it's their nature. That's why the places they come from are the way they are.
I have no plan to abolish them. I just happen to know everybody would be better off without them. Same thing that without borders.
You seem to be troubled by the most irrelevant things. Things that don't change a bit what is right and what is wrong. Because that's what we were discussing, right?
Please, make sure you are not wasting our time with status quo bias and voters' irrationality.
Open Borders would cause the collapse of western society, and with it much of human progress, bringing mass misery to the entire world. It's one of the most evil things any person can advocate. It's unpopular because it's such an obviously bad idea.
Yes you are right!, entitlements ARE a problem.
Let's get rid of them. All of them!!
And yet, immigrants vote for entitlements.

"immigrants vote for entitlements."
An additional reason to abolish all entitlements!!.
People (immigrants and otherwise) vote for the wrong policies almost all the time (as it is the case when they support entitlements and/or borders)
How are you going to abolish entitlements? Gonna storm the capital and set yourself up as dictator?

It was status quo bias then. And nativism. You should have said so from the beginning.
