This is not the strongest argument against low-skill immigration. Many economists argue it is net-beneficial to the economy.

I don't believe that it grows native GDP per capita, either. And I'd say that the effects of immigration on the labor market are huge.

Challenge of high talent & high IQ immigration also needs more scrutiny, especially in context of native elite overproduction & competition.

People say we need more high IQ immigrants, but I know of a lot of high IQ natives who aren't getting jobs

I don't see an econ case against skilled immig. Broad econ consensus in favor. There is a cultural case against too much of it, though.

There's a fine economic argument to be made about the distributional effects of high skill immigration

High-skill labor is more differentiated, still in competition with each other, but not like undifferentiated commodity low-skill labor is.
