Immigrants arriving would benefit the economy (as long as they aren't too poor and take lots of welfare), at least ideally speaking.

This is pointless, just like banning trade with X country to allow more jobs to be in America. It looks good on the surface, but really Americans would be losing out on the cheaper prices of X country's goods and services.
The key idea is that trades are mutually beneficial. When an employer hires an immigrant employee, they both gain.
