"The vast majority of native-born Americans are descended from immigrants, including the national-populists vehemently opposed to H-1B visas. Did their ancestors take away American jobs? Or did they contribute to the economy by working with the natives?"

Yes. The problem is the article completely ignores what it means to be an American. It ignores what a nation is—a subset of an ethnic group sharing the same history and culture. The article views the people as interchangeable producers and consumers. The American founders didn’t think this. It’s written in the preamble to the Constitution: “…for ourselves and our posterity.” If you and I move to Korea, magic dirt doesn’t make us Korean.
Please think about this point in the article.
