This is problematic because it judges human beings based on the value they bring to the state. This is also why "Most of them are valuable workers" is a bad argument. It says we should allow immigration but only if our state profits from it.

If you are against nationalism, you should also disagree with this, as it assigns the interest of the state to be the interest of the population.

Human beings shouldn't be measured by the work they can bring but by the fact that they are humans too.

In fact the workers have more in common with immigrants than with politicians or anyone in power
