Immigrants spend less on frivolous bullshit and send money to other countries. Businesses lose out on that end, especially tech companies and wealthy industries.
Manufacturing and manual labor jobs love immigrants because they can pay them minimum wage for horrible working conditions compared to your typical minimum wage 3rd+ generation white worker.
I'm not sure this is how it works. But I don't live in US.
The answer is a) illegally, or b) the company making use of temporary foreign worker programs. The TFW programs have absurdly little oversight and you can generally treat the workers like chattel slaves.
I mean "3rd+ generation white" part
Happens in the UK too, widespread enough that my local government employs immigrant workers for below minnimum wage.
Same shit in certain biggest country btw
