in what way do you mean different? i would say it is wildly different

America has free and open trade within its borders. Nobody seems to mind that there are no visa restrictions on someone from Mississippi taking a job in California.
The distinction we make between a foreigner coming to take a job and a domestic worker taking a job is (with some particular exceptions) is largely a mental construct.
If people immigrate to America, the arrangement should be mutually beneficial.
We are not, and should not be, the self-appointed saviors of the world.
This is definitely true. You are getting cheap educated labor, boosting your country's economy and crippling competition. Self interest, not savior behavior.
Now, that's irrelevant to the argument you are replying, that shows the holes in the wage depression argument.
hiring a foreign worker does not immediately reduce social burden on the country with the job
