Yes, weld it adding a tube to reinforce the body. But a better option would be to get that piece from a donor car……

yes get it welded, and you should get a donor panel and weld that in....BTW you do not want to reinforce taht aprt of the body, being as it is deisgned as a crumple zone, and it is designed as part of the structure to fold like that to absorb impact.
