Immigration doesn't reduce the wages of those making the argument, who are usually employed in professional/managerial classes that benefit when there are lots of employees at the bottom.
This also illustrates the economically rational response to immigration, though. Be a turncoat. Move up the value chain into management (or other industries that benefit from a larger population of workers), so that you too can benefit.
