>immigration props up vast sectors of our economy (construction, delivery, and healthcare being the main ones).

Ignoring healthcare because it's not a "sector of the economy", look at what that "propping up" looks like: the rich get richer off their slave labour, whilst the poor get undercut and left out; natives can no longer make a living off sectors that were perfectly fine before. And, once again, it's the richest that benefit. This is a losing argument.

>our most tough-on-crime, tough-on-immigration president

Like all other conservatives in Europe, he is very tough on everything, and then does absolutely nothing against it. I bet he imported as much slave labour as the most leftist president of France, if not more.

Healthcare isn’t a sector of the economy? Since when?

If you hate the way they pay immigrants look at the laws of the country don’t hear the immigrants. Doing the latter is the mark of ignorance.

Might sound harsh, but so what? You can’t make a living connecting telephone calls either, used to be a perfectly fine job.

If you can’t make a living doing job x, the demand isn’t there and the supply will automatically reduce. If there is more demand than supply, wages will inevitably increase at some point.

This feels a lot like taxi drivers complaining that they can’t make a living in an era of deregulation. And again, so what? A couple of taxi drivers previously subsidised by the government through artificial supply constraints lose while the rest of society wins.
