Seeing this post of yours shows you are not a typical reactionary goon Trump supporter. You're in that 12% stat of you know what it appears.
If immigration fueled economies. Those refugees from the ME would be welcomed with open arms.

Look at GDP and tax spending per Capita. This will give you a figure of what the average person contributes to the country. Then double it because for every working migrant there will be non-working one. United States GDP per Capita $54,370 look at who is above the US. Forget the oil rich. Total Government Spending $20,760 / person

A select few contribute, the rest are split between those who break even and those who deduct.
