The WSJ is a great publication and worth reading.
But you have to understand whose interests the WSJ represents: the global business elite. The global business elite loves immigration because, to them, it represents an inflow of cheaper workers who know and/or care less about their rights. (Even if you don't hire immigrants directly, increasing the labor supply helps slow wage growth.) There are probably also some other factors, like status signaling. They aren't worried about getting cultural details right, because they don't care about culture or civic engagement or anything like that. They care about cheap labor.
You can therefore expect the majority of WSJ articles about immigration to say whatever they think cheerleads immigration most, no matter how nonsensical it is (but since the WSJ is a "serious" publication, you'd think nonsense would be kept to a minimum.)
(There are, of course, many supporters of immigration who have nothing to do with the global business elite, many other arguments than can be made, for and against, but that's the WSJ demographic.)
