I generally agree with the sentiment, and I generally view immigration as a positive. That being said, to suggest that immigration doesn't put any kind of pressure on housing, employment, and social services (at least short term, probably not long term), will defeat your argument before it reaches the ears of the people who need to hear the rest of it.

There is such a thing as good immigration policies and the benefits often outweigh the cost. But even if they don't they are dwarfed by the other issues mentioned here.
