The problem isn't immigration, it is mass immigration. A nation cannot afford it and there were times we temporarily shut down immigration in the past. Assimilation is a big issue, and if you're mass importing from areas of the world that don't share our values that is a major way to erode our cultural fabric.
When people constantly cite "we are a nation of immigrants", it is often an appeal to emotion and a tactic used to mislead. It is also a shallow argument that ignores the complex nuance.
