Local wages wouldn't lower if unions welcomed immigrants and they (unions) did their job. Or if you mean stuff that's clandestine work (like meat packing plants), those abuse migrant workers who are poor and desperate, some of which are children, not the kind of migration you were talking about.
Work visas are easily taken away, and employment status counts. The company gets a say.
