>compared their per-capita welfare use to that of natives
The interests of its native people (including giving to those among them that need it some welfare money) is the reason a state exists.
So what sense does it make to compare in per-capita or absolute terms, the welfare given to each group? Any non-zero amount wont be an argument in favor of immigration.

States exist today for a convoluted variety of historical reasons; certainly not exclusively "the interests of its native people"
