That's actually one of the basic premises of pro-immigrant policy, too (perhaps even moreso than anti-immigrant policies.)

Actually, anti-immigrant groups favoring a hard closed door with little attempt to distinguish useless from useful are probably more significant among the anti-immigrant side than the opposite I idea,puren-source with little attempt to distinguish, is on the pro-immigrant side.

No, it's not. You can be of the opinion that you don't have the right to stop people moving across a border or forcibly deport them later.

Pro-immigration groups sometimes will advocate screening, usually they don't.
