It’s because immigrants don’t qualify for welfare because you need a social security number for it. Which immigrants don’t have. It’s pure propaganda, ignorance and/or racism from them.
So pretty much they all need to work to make money.
Low skilled immigrants are often paid less, which means they’re pushing the wages down. That’s one downside. Also some might consider it a downside that native born citizens are losing their jobs and in case of welfare the immigrants might be straining it more than what would otherwise be the case.
For companies there might not be a downside but for some workers there for sure are.
But sometimes locals will not take the jobs that immigrants take even for a better wage. The immigrants that take those jobs in a dire enough situation to not be able to choose.
So I’d say it’s an issue with society not the immigrants themselves doing the job no one wants to do for wages no one wants to have
What’s the inconsistency? Some immigrants will work and others will receive welfare, so you’ll have more people in both categories.
I wish I knew what that downvote was for.

Do you not get a SSN if you immigrate legally?
Not immediately iirc. I may be way wrong so someone please correct me if I am but iirc it’s 5 years or so? A few states give certain aid quicker.
Depends on the country.

@ArbitraryValue@sh.itjust.works didn’t say anything you’re objecting to, so I still don’t get the downvotes.
I misread your comment, I thought you were asking what the downside of immigration was

Often I hear this being said after immigrants have came in and the wages are already down in the gutter.
