    “Jobs” are not a finite resource. That’s just the broken window fallacy with a dash of bigotry.

    Or from a macro-economic view, since immigrants are also consumers, studies typically show that immigrants increase aggregate demand for jobs more than they increase aggregate supply.

      Do the jobs that are taken by immigrants create jobs in the same field that the person who lost the job can be employed in? Because it creating a job in some other unrelated field doesn’t really help the original person. Nor does the line for someone going up necessarily.
