You missed the point entirely. Leaving out Irish, Italians, Syrias or the Jews (Godwin's Law exception) because of nativist hate toward disparaged peoples was/is shooting oneself in the foot... other, wiser countries will gain by taking in more people (either to bolster their fertility rates, tax bases and/or future world standing) because it's hard to select the good ones in an haphazard, politically-driven immigration process whose children, grandchildren, etc. have the greatest probability of being the next billionaire job creator, small business owner or at least high income-earning taxpayers.
