You are saying that people who live in an empire that has caused poverty and governmental breakdown in many other nations to enrich the rich and afford some trickle down to the middle class, are entitled to, and should ,slam shut the borders to the refugees from our own county's policies. Lucky for us that our own ancestors didn't face that attitude, tho they usually faced discrimination after being let in., Many of those south of the border have ancestors here much farther back than most of us privileged honkies, who are entitled to live here because of all that hard work we did to earn the privilege, in being born here. I also think your thesis is false. Perhaps immigration causes some job loss, but most immigrants are doing shit jobs Americans don't want. Much job loss comes from outsourcing, and from automation.
