> In many instances, positions that native born workers are not willing to fill create opportunities for migrants.
Why do people assume this is a good thing? A lot of the jobs native born workers are unwilling to fill get few/no applicants because the conditions are terrible, they pay like crap or they're undesirable in some other way.
In those cases, the answer isn't 'import workers willing to do the work for cheap/in terrible conditions'. It's 'improve the job so people actually want/will tolerate doing it' or 'automate said job so you don't need employees doing it' or 'do it yourself/with less employees because your company/organisation cannot support/afford more of them'.
No business needs to exist, nor does every business or individual need to be able to find workers. Being able to import people to do work at worse wages in order to keep a failing business afloat is not a good thing.

Jobs don't appear out of thin air. If somebody has no other option (or, their only other option is subsistence farming in some impoverished part of the world), who are you to tell them they don't deserve the chance to work a better job?
