This is exactly how economies DO NOT work. If your thought process was correct, GDP would be exactly the same as it was 50 years ago. More people is one of the key driving factors for more economic growth.
My thought process is inarguably correct. Immigrants get a share of the wealth already created, secured, and owned by the natives. They add something to the numerator, but they add far more (proportionately) to the denominator, making Americans poorer per capita.

Everyone here has immigrant roots and the vast majority were dirt poor when they got here. Your view is not only incorrect it is incredibly ignorant of our history.
Ummm no. The market doesn’t magically produce more people. Japan is a great example of this.
Yes, Japan proves my point. The market doesn't magically produce MORE people. It magically produces the right number. Japan's population decline is good for the Japanese. It increases per-capita wealth.
If labor is not reproducing itself in equal or greater numbers, that means that the value of labor does not justify its production in greater numbers. If it looked like our kids would have bright economic futures, the way it appeared to parents of kids born in the 1950's, we would be having more kids.
Of course, one of many factors destroying the American dream for natives is immigration. Immigration suppresses birth rates, and then the birth rates suppressed by immigration are used as a justification for more immigration. All the justifications for immigration are complete BS.

Our country has thrived because of immigration.
My view is a mathematical fact. It can't be disputed. Your response again underscores the fact that you are wholly ignorant of the most fundamental economic facts. If you increase the country's population more than you increase its wealth, you decrease per-capita wealth. And that's exactly what immigration does.
There is a difference between the dynamics of settlement of a vast almost vacant land and immigration after dominion over the land was secured for the benefit of the settlers and their posterity. The facts are now that immigration decreases the wealth of natives while also decreasing their political power. These are simple logically ineluctable facts.

You really need to take an economics class. Your assumption is that wealth is fixed and that’s fundamentally incorrect.
And there it is, the real reason for the resistance to immigration.
Always first to blame "racism." Review The Story of the Boy Who Cried Wolf, please.
Self-preservation and cultural preservation are very valid reasons for laws and behaviors. People who dish on Western Civ should try a permanent move to Cuba, Venezuela, South Africa, Zimbabwe, any of a number of nations that have been "liberated" in the past 50 years. Make sure you renounce your US Citizenship, don't forget that!
When Western Civilization is replaced by Mexican/Central American/Red Chinese "Civilization," what will you say then?
