I think conservatives would argue that many of those things site (other than the obvious, such as voting/civil rights) are not net benefits to society. In addition, they would argue that the welfare as a whole has had the opposite effect of what was intended, especially on blacks.
But I'm not really a conservative so I wouldn't know.
