How does one reconcile both open borders policy and the existence of a welfare state? Your only options are ignorance or malice; either you don’t understand why these things are mutually exclusive, or you do understand - and you are actively seeking collapse.
The third option is deliberate denial, which is a bit of ignorance and a bit of malice.. They just ignore the conflict by turning their brains off, being told what to believe, and training themselves in doublethink
I have talked to people like that and it's willful ignorance. You point out that people will naturally leech off a system that let's them - it's human nature - and they pretend not to believe you. You tell them that providing illegals welfare will encourage even more illegal immigrants and they say that's a good thing. Whether it's Hispanic "undocumented workers" in the US or African and Arab "refugees" in Europe, they'll assure you that 100% of them are hard workers who just want to take care of their families and will add more to the system than they take, no exceptions. They aren't taking jobs from us, they're taking jobs nobody wants. Tell them horror stories of immigrants committing crimes and they will rattle off a bunch of sCieNcE articles that are supposed to prove that more welfare makes the economy better, and by "giving people a hand up" they'll almost always use that money to improve their lot and get a job or start a business so they won't need it anymore. The discussion may even wander to the promising future of UBI where we'll all live in a utopia and do whatever inspires us - funded by taxpayers - and that will somehow make the economy better than it is today.
Bringing down the economic system is the intent. Ever since the United States started succeeding above the rest of the world, the thought on the minds of globohomo socialists has been "how can we bring it down?" They're not particularly shy about this, though when speaking to an audience that wouldn't appreciate that message, they can tell a different story. Someone like a Biden doesn't say "we're smashing capitalism" -- just does everything that pushes in that direction.
