Immigrants create economic growth though. They come here, spend money, start businesses, and generate more demand for the things that create jobs.

In fact, preventing immigration reduces jobs. Companies will happily offshore any position they can.

Jobs don't just exist in a vacuum. They're the result of a relatively complex economy, but growth generally creates jobs. So we should grow.
