High Moral Ground
A fair and firm immigration system holds the moral high ground. This is not only because it protects the indigenous inhabitants (who probably have lethal defence forces for the same purpose) but protects foreigners from having to cope with inconsistencies and muddle. The USA used to have strict controls until 1965 when President Johnson relaxed them. Hence much of the present imbroglio and unhappiness. Most illegals have entered the USA illegally and overstayed. Word of their success naturally attracts others to follow suit. Allowing foreigners to occupy your country while your own citizens can't live in theirs is clearly unfair (= immoral). It is also unjust. And to add to this injustice "equality" laws enable foreigners to deprive citizens of work and promotion. Jesus famously believed in upholding the law. So it is unChristian to render assistance to illegals. It is also immoral.

Consider two young men who arrive in Britain on the same day with the same visa. Both want to live here. One is law-abiding and returns home when his visa expires. The other overstays. When he is nobbled, a lawyer (at the British taxpayers' expense) argues his case. It's refused. There are appeals. Most appeals are upheld(see "Welcome to the Asylum", Centre for Policy Studies, 2001). So he is given "Indefinite Leave to Remain". If his final appeal is rejected he disappears. The Rule of Law is one of the pillars of the European Union and of Western democracies. So, if anything, it should be the first young man who is given the right to permanent residence in the UK. But it isn't.
In the 1980s a young Sri Lankan sought sanctuary in a church. He was in the UK illegally. His vociferous support group said he would be killed if he went back to Sri Lanka. But the Home Secretary, Douglas Hurd, said the law must be upheld, and sent in the police to remove him. The Press lost interest when nothing happened to him on his return to Sri Lanka.
The moral case for "diversity" is that it elevates people who were born here. The immoral case, of which its proponents are well aware but don't say, is that it also elevates foreigners over native Brits. Which is not just immoral - it's unjust.
The terrible coronavirus that afflicts the nation and worldwide means that we have to self-isolate. This has seen an upsurge in domestic violence. One reason for which is that the UK has more young men than young women. One reason for which is that some 10,000 foreign men a year use marriage to live in the UK. So, ending this concession would be a good thing in order to reduce domestic violence.
