Exactly the same arguments apply against claims that low-skilled migrants have much impact on wages though. They tend to work in low margin industries which compete internationally against imports from countries which pay lower wages, the existing domestic workforce has little negotiating power or ability, and often the jobs they take are either already at a minimum wage level so their existence literally can't depress it any further, or can't be filled at any reasonable wage level.

Not all their additional consumption goes to the US economy and they only pay a little bit of tax, but they don't need to have very much impact on consumption and production to offset the impact of their slightly lower wage demands.
