Why do you feel that is a good thing worth preserving? That's one of the worst aspects of wage labor.
How else would you have it? Every server serves at every restaurant? There are no restaurants? Restaurants are all self-service? In the latter case, what's the difference to a kitchen?
It's not about which way I'd rather have it (Though that's a worthwhile conversation of it's own), it's that the analogy doesn't work because wage labor is immisterating and not something most wage laborers themselves would want to uphold in their ideal society. That is to say, your analogy doesn't support your argument for borders. And yes I know you said immigration and not borders, but immigration isn't a thing without border.
This isn't even complex Bistromathics my friend and people like you have already tried to foot the bill for hateful people far to many times for this ideology not to be a dead end composed of us resisting you.
