As a three time immigrant, I have diametrically opposing viewpoints. My view is that immigration mostly benefits nations, and emigration always hurts them. Immigration increases the labour capacity, and nations that utilize this resource in a pragmatic manner are net beneficiaries.
My earlier point was around the fact that US isn't very efficient at managing this resource (letting arbitrary people through the physical border, while holding up highly educated folks in immigration queues for years).
