While Democrats say "Let's import more workers to do jobs Americans would do for a higher wage.".

Imagine 1,000s of people being trained to do what you do. Now imagine the competition for traffic and the prices people pay for that traffic. A few get very rich, you lose your house.

The reality is this is what's happening. Globalisation, immigration and automation are destroying millions of incomes of your customers. So it trickles up, lower wages x less spending = economies increasing at a snail pace. And where there is an increase only a few can benefit.
