OTOH I’m not sure I’ve actually ever seen the same person making that argument and also oppose immigration (unless you count trolls like James A. Donald)
Um, the main argument against immigration is not based on the work they do but on what else they do, e.g., commit violent crimes or vote against the policies that created the economic prosperity that enticed them to immigrate in the first place.
FWIW males also commit a vastly disproportionate share of violent crimes. And in plenty of places immigrants aren’t allowed to vote, unless they get citizenship first (which usually requires many years and a civics exam).
EDIT: Also, you seem to be implying that voters have non-negligible actual power to affect economic policy, which is preposterous these days.
