They are willing to work for less than a normal American living wage. This reduces the amount that an American can work for for the same job. Globalists love this.
They bring and establish a different culture eroding a way of life that is considered American.
Those are two things I think someone might say about immigrants. Additionally, there’s general disdain for the poor and many immigrants come here to escape worse poverty.
3- housing and rents go up in every city with more migrants because it’s workers who just want to rent now right here at any cost compared to a city where people settle in owned houses.
4- they sent most of their earnings outside to their countries to help their families there compared to citizens who pay it all on their local economy. and if they were illegal, not even pay taxes while using and benefiting from most your services. However, the true leechers who pay no taxes are in fact the super wealthy.
In a broader picture again, it’s actually corporations and property owners who benifit the most from illegals or cheap migrant B-visa workers, and crowded cities and higher rents and housings. So ironically the rich are the ones who benefit from immegrants the most specially in areas with high local unemployments and low wages. Then they use the narrative that these dirty unassimilated immigrants who dont speak your language or share your culture are ruining your city to distract the blame from them.
Yes, immigrants drive down wages is the biggest issue. The second is if you bring in a large enough glut of 1 type of immigrant all at once (like refugees for a real world example) they can establish an insulated community and not actually join “the mixing pot.”
There are obviously a lot of positives and neutral points as well, but everything has a give and take. The biggest positive is that children are a pure drain on society but an immigrant doesn’t need schooling or rearing. They can simply begin working (for that lowered wage).
