You know, not everyone goes to US to work or use social benefits. Some people would like to move there for personal reasons and nothing would probably keep them there otherwise.
And visa waiver does not mean a right to work. This could be dealt with a simple work permit with less paperwork for potential employees. It's easier now, when it's simply uneconomic to go to US to work as a waiter if the ticket for 10h long flight costs you 1000$ and you earn 6$/hour. Ticket for a 2h flight to UK costs up to 100$ and you earn 6Pounds/hour.
IMO US is locking their borders for more educated people who would like to, for example intern in an american company or for specialists who could share and exchange knowledge.
This is also friggen bad for poor people who would like to be with each other for a few months without a need to make a serious commitment or simple trying to find a loophole in the system.
