1/ Summary of growth economics literature on the long-tern effects of immigration suggests being very picky:http://evonomics.com/do-immigrants-import-their-economic-destiny-garrett-jones/ …
3/ If we can't just bring people to states with good institutions, and forcible reform of other states is usually a disaster, how to help?

Let them come and take the institutional damage; it'll be outweighed by being rid of the illiberal thuggery of border controls.
-
depends how much thuggery is imposed on how many in new country by new voters. Liberal enclaves may require illberal walls.

in theory, sure. In practice nativists have done >10x as much damage to the liberal order as immigrants

Ok, so suffrage for immigrants is better than for nativists. But that's not a realistic policy trade-off right now.
