I don't think that's true. Even skilled immigration depresses wages of skilled workers. There's an analysis from the Dutch government Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis on this, which shows essentially this, which can be found in English translation on https://www.cpb.nl/sites/default/files/publicaties/download/immigration-and-dutch-economy.pdf https://www.cpb.nl/sites/default/files/publicaties/download/.... One thing that I think is neglected even in this study however, is that bringing in even a very productive person increases things like housing competition, and even just bringing in a few people can cause prices to balloon, just as a tiny shortage can cause prices to balloon. It would therefore almost certainly be better to have Ukraine functioning and for Europe to trade with an ever more integrated and ever more well-functioning Ukraine. Letting these people in isn't something is good for the economy, it's a matter of protecting people from war-- i.e. they're refugees.
