Certainly but opening borders means you get not only labour but additional stuff along. In the hypothetical situation where immigrants are teleported to the workplace and then send back by cosmic rays what you are saying would be true. However IRL there are certain externalities that make free market outcome sociallysuboptimal

Closed border also have them externalities and additional stuff like unionization. It's more efficent balance gains outweigh losses. Don't you trust capitalism to solve any problems open borders may cause.
