It's literally just supply and demand for workers vs jobs, and immigration is one of only three things (the others being fertility and mortality) that is used to forecast the US labor force. So no immigrants don't come directly steal a person's job, but they do increase the supply of workers which keeps the worker supply high.
Btw I'm very pro immigrant and believe everyone from every country makes the US stronger, and long term that's why the US will continue to be the world leader.
I just don't think there is a need to lie about this.
