(Not talking about H1B)

Immigrants arriving would benefit the economy (as long as they aren't too poor and take lots of welfare), at least ideally speaking.

This is pointless, just like banning trade with X country to allow more jobs to be in America. It looks good on the surface, but really Americans would be losing out on the cheaper prices of X country's goods and services.

The key idea is that trades are mutually beneficial. When an employer hires an immigrant employee, they both gain.
