Some immigrants CAN harm the economy but much more they also IMRPOVE it. We need immigrants. A few examples:

I live in a town that is dominated by the university. We have many immigrants here who came here for studying because our universities have a good reputation. They come from another land, sometimes can't even speak our language at the beginning, have no friends here, know little about our culture. And still they manage to complete it, something that I find very hard myself. I have great respect for them. Also I like how they enrich our culture with their culture.

Switzerland has an unemployment rate of 3%. That's as much as it could ever get. It's impossible to reach 100%, since some people just don't want to work, or are currently seeking for a new job. So it's fair to say that Switzerland is fully employed. That again means they need more workers. The Swiss population is not enough to fill all the job positions. Since Switzerland voted in a referendum for a law to restrict foreign workers, this problem will become worse in future. Immigrants could fill these jobs.

Europe has a lower birth than death rates, so Europeans will eventually go extinct. Other countries, eg. India and China, have problems with a too high birth rate. The reason of this is mainly our taboo of sex, but let's not drift into that topic here. The consequences are that our culture might die out. We can prevent that by mixing our culture with other cultures.
