On the immigrants thing, they can easily be doing both. Any immigrant with income below approximately the 60th percentile of income is a net negative to the taxpayer.
Then they are both taking our jobs and being net consumers of welfare.
The principaled economic reason to oppose immigrating in this case is that you want immigrants to be net taxpayers, and also work in jobs complementary with (most) Americans rather than in competition with them.
For example, high skilled specialists we just don't have enough of. (Original use case of H1B, before it got exploited as a source of cheap accountants and php drones.)
