Well my point is that if 'more people' make countries wealthier... then more immigration should make countries wealthier too.
But if you listen to Mr Trump, immigration to the US is the cause of half the country's problems. It doesn't make sense

Oh, I can explain that pretty easily: Trump is a complete ignoramus on economics.
It is possible, though, for the source of problems to also be the source of gains. That's consistent with the idea of tradeoffs.
