Is this grammatically correct?

I'm not sure how to end this sentence: "I am against illegal immigration so long as there is a welfare state from which illegals can receive benefits without paying anything into."

Anonymous I am against illegal immigration so long as there is a welfare state from which illegals can receive benefits without paying anything into. It's grammatical, but I can see what you mean. It's a bit rough around the edges.

  • Even adding "it" (the welfare state) at the end might help — though not much.
  • You could try changing the order and making 'illegals' the subject of the second clause.
