It isn't always true tho it is true for developed countries with low birth rates. For many developing countries immigrants taking low level jobs is a negative because there isn't enough high level jobs. And I am saying this as someone who is supportive of immigration

And the USA is in that group now. We have about 1.78 births per women in the us and that number is declining. You need a birth rate of over 2 per women in order to sustain a population without immigration. If a place does not sustain their population their economy cannot grow and if your birth rate is lower than 2 immigration is the only viable option to sustain it. Less people = less specialized jobs = less overall jobs = worse economy.

@git @drolex that seems to assume that individuals born in a particular geographic region should have better access to employment than those born somewhere else. Am I understanding you correctly?
