Boy people be getting salty with their safe spaces

Since I just got blocked on someone's question, I'll go ahead and repeat theirs here.

Has immigration--legal and illegal--contributed positively to US society and the economy in any significant way in recent times?

Not seeking confirmation bias to my own static view. Question is open to all ages, not just above the age of 40.

I'd have said so. Illegal immigration has contributed massively to cheaper food produce prices;
legal, education-related immigration has resulted in a lot of highly talented scientists and engineers moving here & contributing ideas and resources, including a surprising proportion of the US Nobel-prize winning scientists in the last 30 years.
Plus, given the structure of american society, all the immigrants work, and pay taxes.
