What if they are taking your job. They are of course taking away someone's job.

  It's not "your" job. It belongs to your employer, and they can give it to whomever they decide. Although, granted, they can't legally give it to an illegal immigrant, they can still legally not let you keep it.

  This sort of statement is not backed up by any evidence whatsoever.

  The economy isn't zero-sum. Additional workers require additional housing, food, durable goods, entertainment, services, etc. creating additional demand for yet more workers to produce those goods and services. The economy isn't an assembly line with X number of positions to be filled. It is dynamic and growth begets growth. In fact, as birth rates decline in the first world and countries' populations age, immigration is becoming an important lever to maintain a sufficient supply of labor to fund retiree's pensions and healthcare.

  The more goods and capital a society needs, the more jobs there are. If you doubled the population, there would be double the demand for nearly everything, and double the corresponding jobs.
