There's nothing to gain by any country taking in people that do more harm than good to not only the culture there, but the people and the economy.

It generally doesn't happen (because most people aren't assholes).

If you really want to understand what's happening: look at the big picture. The 'haves' have always exploited the 'have nots'. Wake up and smell the economy.

No fucking shit. But that's not just the 1%. That's several people under the guise that this system benefits their shitty businesses in some way, meanwhile they're still getting the table scraps compared to multi-national business entities. It's a system that attempts to convince those businesses that cheap labor is great, and they can make tons of profit, meanwhile the communities suffer because not all of those people work and many are just going to take advantage of systems in place and damage the structural integrity of the economic systems put in place with the smaller native population in mind. That's not even accounting for the crimes and cultural destruction that happen as a result. It's a hierarchy of greed with a mask of altruism and tolerance that exploits the host country and attempts to violate the human rights of immigrants by using them as a source. That doesn't mean that it's right, and that people of these host countries should accept it.

We actually agree on this.

One of the few so-called right-wing/non-centrist issues I agree with is a stricter immigration policy and better boarder security, because the lack of these can lead to increased crime rates (but this is not a comment on race or ethnicity). Much of the right-wing 1% want to get votes by speaking against immigration, but instead support it, because their corporate and farming doners want them to support immigration, and especially allow for illegal immigration, which is cheaper labour, on a seasonal basis. Neo-Liberals support immigration without lying about their support. I don't support liberal policies on immigration, not in the least. My main arguments at DAR tend to be against racist comments and unfounded claims.
