 I've been a productive foreigner most of my adult professional life and I've been a migrant every minute of it. 
 😂

Hardly anyone uses that term in that sense.

Legal immigration with high standards is fine, at least for the country allowing immigrants in. Arguably it's a bad thing for the world as it tends to lead to brain drains, depriving poorer countries of their talented people.

Obviously letting in millions of poor people with few skills, low intelligence, and violent cultures is a terrible idea.
