Immigration to the US slightly increases wages for natives, slightly decreases wages for low-education natives, and significantly decreases wages for immigrants: https://academic.oup.com/jeea/article/10/1/152/2182016 In the long run, these estimates imply an overall average positive effect of immigration on native wages of about 0.6% and an overall average negative effect on the wages of previous immigrants of about 6%. [....] All in all, one finding seems robust: once imperfect substitutability between natives and immigrants is allowed for, over the period 1990 2006 immigration to the United States had at most a modest negative long-run effect on the real wages of the least educated natives. This effect is between 2.1% and +1.7% depending on the chosen nesting structure, with the positive results coming from the nesting structure preferred by the data. Our finding at the national level of a small wage effect of immigration on less-educated natives is in line with the findings identified at the city level.
immigration is a net positive for the economy, but unequally benefits the high-skilled: https://www.economics.uci.edu/files/docs/colloqpapers/w06/Cortes.pdf The wage effects are sizeable but plausible: a 10 percent increase in the number of low-skilled immigrants in a city reduces the wages of low-skilled natives by 0.6 percent and of low-skilled immigrants by 8 percent (an own-labor demand elasticity of -1.2). My results imply that the low-skilled immigration wave of the 1990s increased the purchasing power of high-skilled workers living in the 25 largest cities by an average of 0.65 percent and decreased the purchasing power of native high school dropouts by an average of 2.66 percent. I conclude that, through lower prices, low-skilled immigration brings positive net benefits to the US economy as a whole, but generates a redistribution of wealth: it reduces the real income of low-skilled natives and increases the real income of high-skilled natives.
states with more foreign-born workers experience faster TFP (productivity) growth: https://www.mitpressjournals.org/doi/pdf/10.1162/REST_a_00137
even immigration skeptic George Borjas admits that immigrants are net contributors: https://sites.hks.harvard.edu/fs/gborjas/publications/popular/CIS2013.pdf https://www.vox.com/2015/8/17/9164725/immigration-and-wages-impact Of the $1.6 trillion increase in GDP, 97.8 percent goes to the immigrants themselves in the form of wages and benefits; the remainder constitutes the "immigration surplus" the benefit accruing to the native-born population, including both workers, owners of firms, and other users of the services provided by immigrants.

@Deleted User why not take an understanding of good like captain Picard or Sisko? Why don't we adopt the Prime Directive?
Instead of a light/dark side dichotomy, why don't we use the more nuanced nature of Federation philosophy?
@Deleted User you just want to shorthand your appeals.
