For the audience concerned about immigration and immigrants stealing jobs, perhaps the best counterargument is to highlight that immigration in general can help the economy (but not necessarily the current proposals). Which in turn means more job creation. Of course, proving that can be difficult, and might involve cliometrics. And you still run the risk of reducing them to their abilities. But perhaps still an approach worth investigating?

That's a great idea. Definitely an argument being made elsewhere by people more eloquent and knowledgeable than me, haha. And it's certainly useful in conversations where you need to get on the same level as anti-immigrant proponents, and work from there.
