I never said anything about wanting immigration - and I haven't seen any numbers suggesting they are a burden on the welfare system. I don't endorse illegals using welfare, but I fail to see how it is worthy of being an issue at this time.
The minimum can, and has been, raised before and could happen again. Hell, my state has been steadily raising minimum wage for years. On the federal level, it's more difficult, but possible, and the idea is gaining a lot of traction among the public and even Obama is in favor of it - it may take more time, but I guarantee the minimum wage will increase.
Increasing taxes is hard, I'll agree. I hesitate to say it's never going to happen though.
Again, I fail to see how cutting welfare is going to help America in it's present situation.
