Because a country is not a house. The analogy is fundamentally flawed. Our government can provide for immigrants in ways that individuals simply cannot.

Governments provide nothing. They make someone else provide.

If the government needs a couch, they don’t poof a couch into existence and everyone’s happy. They either take your couch or have someone sit down and make one.

It’s bizarre though how many people think governments can simply “provide”. America now can’t even provide for all the struggling people who already live there. You could argue that they could redefine their priorities and focus on immigrants, but that comes at a cost of something else, and people affected by those cuts would not be happy.

This is basically saying: I won't help, but I support the government forcing other people to help (and hopefully it won't affect me).

The state is product of citizens time and resources. We all contribute. So it's a perfectly apt analogy.
