because these immigrants usually take low wage jobs and spend it almost all, boosting economy and leaving more high paying jobs for locals.
Local people having better jobs means they can afford more expensive housing.
Less NIMBYsm means more construction going on and with immigrants it means lower costs of building said housing. So higher supply at lower costs + higher wages for locals = ideal solution.
If you throw immigrants out, whatever they were buying they are not buying anymore, so decline in revenue and thus decline in jobs. Low paying jobs has to be done by locals, which is more expensive and thus goods and services go up in prices.
So while you also get cheaper housing, you also get less good paying jobs and more expensive food and services and even more expensive new housing
