There are a lot of these either to throw out, short and logical sounding bullshit excuses like "Declining birth rates->We need immigration" or "Devaluing our currency is good->more exports" that are hard to work and argue against not because they're hard to debunk logically, but because it takes a while to explain and set the proper context for why they are such bad ideas; and most people have the attention span of goldfish so they will ignore you.
For example to debunk the "Let's devalue our currency for more exports!" bullshit you'd have to explain that more exports only help the bottom line of the company, and only the actual stock holders and owners but not the workers, wages won't rise, EVERY person will be poorer because their buying power is diminished and more exports don't even lead to more job creation, and even if it's easier to import some cheap labor instead of giving those jobs to the local population.
To debunk the "Let's import hordes of barely literate immigrants because of declining birth rates!" you'd first need to explain the IQ, racial, genetic, work ethic and cultural differences between people and nations, how groups tend to work for their in-group collective to get gimmedats, that an Indian doctor is not the same substitute to an American doctor, that credentials mean shit from countries with lower college standards, corruption, bribing and outright buying of diplomas. You'd also have to explain statistics of populations and that you're more likely to just import gutter trash and not that sought after potential Science Nobel Prize winner that you think you will.
It all takes time and in our modern times of 140 character twatter hashtag screaming, no one has time for anything else other than shouting these easy to say, easy to digest buzz sentences. It's a sad thing to admit, but the shitlibs and cultural marxists have one thing locked down to an impeccable perfection: creating easy to digest buzzphrases that can be quickly repeated and quickly understood on an emotional level. Conservatives (note: republicans are not conservatives) need to also learn that technique from the enemy if they ever hope to win

Keep the BAD immigrants out, and gladly welcome the GOOD ones.
This for example is the quick and short sounding addendum to that buzzphrase that seems logical at first, unless you explain it further: how DO you even separate the good from the bad? Diplomas? Credentials? Past employment? WHY do we even need the "good" immigrants, why invest in complete strangers instead of working to bring up the local population? Lord knows there's a shit ton of people in the US already as it is, gotta tap into that instead of completely replacing the country with foreign mystery meat
